I am fascinated with the use of technology within the processes and systems of the built environment to improve efficiency and delight in development and user experience. Cities are centers of innovation, culture, and economy with unparalleled vitality; I am interested in how scalable products and efficient services can be deployed in them to maximally respond to the needs of a city’s users. I aspire to deploy my programming skills, design intuition, and entrepreneurial approach to positively impact cities in product, design, and technology roles.

These are selected pages from a “sketchbook” I maintained during a semester in which we made trips to Detroit and Chicago. During these trips, I documented and analyzed various aspects of each city’s urban fabric and imagined how it would feel to be an actual resident experiencing the city.
