In general, I strive to be fearless, but not delusional; be joyful, but not
naive; be thoughtful, but not stubborn; be communicative, but not commanding;
be credible, but not infamous.
In the long-term, I want to help close the gap between ideals and reality,
academic and industry.
Currently, I'm gardening at Sprout because
computing environments can be and should be more fluid, playful, equitable,
fun, humane, expressive ++. I’m also building small products at
Tiny Factories because I believe
there's a future where indiepreneurs thrive.
My senior thesis was on the "Space" of Computing: Computer went from being a
job title for people who do calculations, to large machines that would fill up
an entire room, to devices so small that they would fit into different objects
and dissolve into our environment. Clearly, our conception of "computing" has
changed and continues to change. This work identified dimensions that
constitute the "space of computing". While some dimensions are less
recognizable than others, defining them is an essential undertaking because
defining the scope of "computing space" is to understand past, present, and
future of our technological advancements, what we've already done and what
we've neglected. You can view the thesis presentation
here and the paper I
co-authored
here.
Thank you for spending some time here. Stay a while and write me a letter if
you aren't in a rush! But of course, no pressure ;)
