I received my B.A. in Film Studies from Seattle University, focusing heavily on scientific film, data visualization, and XR.

In my previous role as Senior Programmer & Festival Director at Three Dollar Bill Cinema, I curated programs for the Seattle Queer Film Festival and the Seattle Transgender Film Festival.

I also illustrated Clitaurus Chronicles, a book about a “clitaurus” named Clitty who is writing a novel but can’t figure out what her climax should be: www.clitauruschronicles.com

I design user-friendly cognitive computing systems leveraging large language models (LLMs) and machine learning (ML) in pursuit of values-based AI alignment. My latest obsession is building an AI visual notetaker and task manager: www.sidetrackapp.io

Currently, I continue to write, direct, animate, and produce short films in my spare time.
