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.

Urban Screens

UT 101: Why Cities?
APR 2024

This exercise called for an analysis of the different types of screens found in the modern urban environment. I was particularly drawn by projections and how modern technology now enables “screens” to exist nearly everywhere. It also allows anyone, from individuals to corporations, to broadcast their message on a large and visible scale. I was also interested in observing how screens take on different functions depending on who is creating them, whether that be the government for infrastructural purposes, the private sector for promotional purposes, or the public for advocacy or awareness purposes.
