This site documents projects and essays on architecture, design technology, and digital fabrication. It’s a working archive focused on computational design, data-driven methods, and the intersection of building technology and business.

Areas of expertise:

  • Computational & Generative Design — Associative parametric modeling and implicit AI/ML methods.
  • AEC Platforms — Modeling, simulation, and coordination environments.
  • Digital Fabrication — Design for manufacture, bridging models and material systems.
  • Digital Twins and Reality Capture — Data-rich models and geophysical context for spatial computing.
  • High-performance Design - Adaptive practices for a constrained and interdependent world.

I collaborate with individuals and teams advancing the design, construction, and operation of buildings and infrastructure.
