who am i?

This is a question we all come to periodically through our lives. And while my inclination is to go into the abstract details of who I am, who I have been, and who I hope to become, I know you are likely here for the nicely packaged, digestible facts from my resume. So here they are:

I am an engineer and scientist by trade and a creative by birth, who prefers to spend both my free time and professional hours in interdisciplinary spaces.

I co-founded in a humanitarian engineering organization, Solidarity Engineering. My technical and advocacy work with Solidarity Engineering has been internationally recognized and was a key component in the design, construction and maintenance of the largest non-governmental shelter in Mexico.

My innate curiosity and creativity keeps me bouncing between projects, mediums, and ideas. The work I create, whether it be technical, creative, or a hybrid of the two, is a direct product of my investigative and exploratory nature.

Any other questions?
