I’m interested in 'systems' and interfaces.
I currently work as a researcher at ⭐️Dynamicland, a research lab founded by Bret Victor; Dynamicland is part of Y Combinator Research. We are building a different kind of computer system. I live and work in Oakland, California.
In addition, I am the creator of ⭐️Screenotate, a tool for macOS and Windows which captures the text and context of every screenshot you take.
I want to talk to you about:
- programming as user interface
- subway maps
- computers
- 'systems'
- low latency and fast feedback
- provenance
- unstructured spaces
- qualitative methods
- the future
