I’m a systems designer, writer, and professor. I work on the decision layer: the systems that determine how institutions operate, coordinate, and stay accountable as AI becomes part of how the public gets served.
I teach Urban Technology at the University of Michigan, build Vloora, and run public programming through my studio, Thinking Weapons. Offline I coach high school tennis and host a radio show.
Urban Technology at Michigan’s Taubman College, since 2024. All three courses come back to public mechanics: how a service behaves for the person on the receiving end.
I build the institutions I want to exist. Portland Digital Corps put a hundred volunteers on six nonprofit rebuilds in 2025; before that, two design weeks and an unconference.
