I design AI products and ship them.
From the public playground for IBM's Granite models to apps I've designed, built, and launched solo — I work end-to-end: research, interaction design, and production code.
Selected work
2024
Designed IBM's human-in-the-loop coding agent IDE in one week — the proof point that secured executive sponsorship for SWE agent research.
Demoed by IBM Research leadership at TechXchange
2025
Designed and built an AI-powered team knowledge base — drop a link and Gemini summarizes it and connects it into a live knowledge graph.
Designed, built & shipped solo
2022
Designed an enterprise platform that turns AI risk assessment into a guided, automated workflow — readable by executives, rigorous enough for compliance.
Research → shipped enterprise platform
Craft
Interaction experiments in the site's own material — the details that make AI interfaces feel alive.
Remix — a design agent lives here
Describe a vibe and a live agent restyles a specimen of this site — streaming its design decisions one token at a time, then auditing its own contrast and repairing what fails. Taste from the model; guardrails from code.
open the experiment →ASCII fluid
A fluid simulation with a terminal's voice. Drag, and energy is injected along your cursor's path, advected, diffused, decayed — then rendered as a ramp of monospace glyphs. No WebGL, no textures; just math and type.

About
I'm a design engineer at IBM Research, where I design AI products and build the prototypes that make research tangible — coding agents, model playgrounds, risk tooling. I trained in landscape architecture at Harvard GSD, which taught me to think in systems; now I ship them in code. Lately I've been taking products from first sketch to deployed software entirely on my own.
