Résumé - Choose your path!

I graduated from college in 2009 with a degree in art and art history. After school I started to find myself more drawn to the web itself as a medium, and translated my skills into an engineering career.

These days I mostly paint from photos with paint markers on board, and design vector art for shirts and stickers to share with my friends.

I came out as trans in 2022, and since then I've been writing essays on my blog Human Kibble about my experiences in transition. I write to engage with the (excessive amount of) queer theory, history, literature and media I devour in order to better understand myself and what it means to be trans.

I dabble in electronics, graphics technologies, and game development. Here are a few random projects:

• Competed in 4 Ludum Dare 48 hour game jam competitions
• Designed two light field renderers, a toy rasterizer with a scene graph, and a realtime WebGPU raytracer
• Once wrote a Duck Hunt-style game for my cats that detected their pounces on the TV
