I make maps on the internet! 

There's a whole lot of data about places, so I work on how to communicate information in about space, place, and people in it. Better yet, I've been digging making better tools to make it a bit easier to get started with. I'm collaborating on some experimental in-browser analytics that make geospatial data viz faster, cheaper, and easier to build.

Recently, I've been working as a Senior Software Engineer for the US Covid Atlas project. Previously, MIT, where I made maps about trees, sounds, and scoots. Before before, I've been a Researcher on how to save NYC's public housing buildings, a Fulbrighter in Brasil, and Graphic Designer turned Architectural Graphic Designer.
