I make, hack and teach about software and electronics. My primary interests fall into the categories of ubiquitous computing and the new media arts, particularly when approached with an emphasis on play, learning and creative expression - sometimes called "ludic design."
Most of my past professional experience has been in the Internet sector, designing and developing rich internet applications and websites. Presently, I'm attempting to branch out of this (largely virtual) space and into designing and developing more tangible electronic artifacts, both for commercial purposes and artistic exploration.
