Technology Strategist at Stanford University

Technology / Software / Internet

I live at the intersection of design and technology, a web utopian from the old school, but with a toolbelt full of modern, open source weapons. What drives and sustains me is contributing to a greater cause, in a community of smart, creative people that are as committed as I am. Working at Stanford affords many advantages that way: I get to contribute to the research mission of one of the most innovative institutions on Earth, I work in open source, I help others learn as I am taught by my peers, I bridge networks and create surprising connections for others, I get to be creative and invent things, and work with awesome people every day.
