Music

My primary instrument is the bass guitar, but i also have experience with keys, guitar, and saxophone. Hit me up if you wanna jam!

Lately i've been listening to julie, Main Era, terraplana, gollylagging, Superheaven, Squirrel Flower, ...

Seems like all my favorite grunge bands are now being called "shoegaze," whatever that is.

Computers Research

i spent a while exploring how we should program computers, while mentored by Arjun Guha.

i studied the language we use to describe what we want computers to do. i often explored how to allow real programmers to use previously discovered "turns of phrase." You can find some of these projects below.

i still wonder how we can ask computers to do something related but different to what they did before.
