01 / A LITTLE ABOUT ME
A researcher by training.
A builder at heart.
I turn curiosity into things you can interact with.
I'm an Assistant Professor of Extended Reality Technologies in the School of Games, Arts, Media and Engineering at Arizona State University, and Honors Faculty at Barrett, The Honors College.
My work connects extended reality, the Internet of Things, and full-stack computing. From wearable technologies to motion capture for AR/VR, I'm interested in technology that moves beyond the screen and into our communities.
Outside the classroom, I'm a co-founder and computer scientist at Foxy Ninja Studios, working across full-stack development, IoT consulting, and product design.
Ph.D. in Computer ScienceArizona State University · 2011
02 / AREAS OF EXPLORATION
Different disciplines.
Connected possibilities.
