From artificial vision to local-first tools.

My favorite technology gives people more agency: restoring a signal, exposing a hidden system, shortening the distance between an idea and a useful tool.

Second Sight Medical Products

Technology in service of sight.

At Second Sight Medical Products, I worked with a development team on artificial-vision technology intended to help blind people see. The work belongs to a large clinical, engineering, research, and patient community; this page does not reduce that shared effort to a single inventor story.

DigiNow

Charging hardware became a company, a race program, and a public archive.

DigiNow grew from practical electric-motorcycle charging problems into adapters, Super Charger systems, vehicle experiments, racing footage, and prototypes that connected phones and tablets to motorcycles.

DBOPFS Studio

Browser-owned data, made understandable.

DBOPFS Studio is a local-first Chromium workspace for exploring, editing, previewing, printing, and managing application data stored in origin-private OPFS. It makes a normally invisible browser data layer inspectable without turning it into a cloud service.

Flash → traditional JavaScript

ActionScript 3 was my first ECMAScript language.

I loved Flash before the browser platform moved on. ActionScript 3 taught me the shape of ECMAScript, and that lineage still informs how I write traditional JavaScript: direct, portable, understandable, and close to the platform.
