About me

Calgary

Calgary — I studied at the University of Calgary, and joined the programming contest team: three teammates, one computer, a stack of problems and five hours.

New York

New York 2009–2020 — I worked in electronic trading until I realized my true passion was in exploring ideas. At ITP, I learned how to work with others to use programming to create light, interaction, and novel experiences to spark great conversation.
