I am an interdisciplinary creative technologist with a research background.
I develop systems at the interface of hardware, software and human-machine interaction. I work in an iterative manner, testing effectiveness and robustness and transforming complex technology into a usable and understandable form. I think scientifically. Empirical evidence, statistical evaluation and publishing are standard tools for me.
