Welcome

I am a software developer and consultant. As a fresh computer science graduate of the University of Michigan, I have just started seeking permanent employment as a software developer, engineer or designer. Before transferring to Michigan, I studied at Kenyon College and the Institut Catholique de Paris.

My interests in computation are broad and comprise parallel computing, complexity theory, complex systems, human-computer interaction, alternative models of computation, formal methods, software engineering, and digital media. But first among my interests is computer graphics. All but one of my most significant academic and independent projects have been graphics-related. Furthermore, through the development of my Studio580 system, I have done original research in graphics, working to apply the state-of-the-art in texture synthesis to interactive painting.

I try to keep as much information online as I can. Using the links below, you can read my blog, download software that I’ve written, grab a copy of my résumé in various formats, and more.
