I’m a software engineer, filmmaker, and occasional writer based in San Francisco. I’m passionate about education, accessibility, and building experiences that make people’s lives a little easier or a little more fun. My pronouns are he/him.

These days, I’m especially interested in front-end web development (JavaScript, React, etc), building accessible user interfaces, and programming language design (compiler-writing, type-checking, etc).

Experience

• Currently, I’m an engineer on the teacher experience at Khan Academy, where I’m building free, AI-powered tools for teachers.
• Previously, I worked on Cloud Foundry at Pivotal Software (later VMware). Across several teams there, I worked on the CF CLI, the platform’s central API server, and Pivotal’s proprietary React frontend for CF.
• Before that, I built database migration tools at Microsoft. Most of my time was spent developing a desktop app using .NET and WPF.
• I spent a summer working as a research assistant on the Grace programming language. I improved the static type-checker in the minigrace compiler and wrote the first version of Gracedoc, Grace’s documentation generator, in Grace.
• I grew up in a suburb of New York and went to school at Pomona College, where I majored in computer science and film.
