Welcome! I'm a researcher exploring malleable software: computing environments where anyone can mold their tools to their own unique needs. For more background on what that mission means and why it matters to me, check out my interview on the Metamuse podcast. I'm currently a senior researcher at the independent research lab Ink & Switch, leading our Malleable Software research track. Before that, I completed a PhD at MIT CSAIL in the Software Design Group advised by Daniel Jackson. Before that, I spent five years as an early engineer and designer building the edtech startup Panorama Education (YC S13). These days, I'm thinking a lot about AI + malleable software: How can LLMs help people make their own custom software?

Welcome! I work on malleable software: computing environments where anyone can adapt their software to meet their needs with minimal friction. To see what that means to me, read this essay or listen to this interview. I'm also tinkering with AI-assisted programming, which I think can help usher in a new era of personal software tools, help programmers have more fun, and create new interaction patterns for working with software. I currently work at Notion. Previously I was a senior researcher at the independent research lab Ink & Switch, and I did a PhD in HCI at MIT advised by Daniel…
