I’m an architect, a designer and a strategist that builds technology for the physical environment — to help it sense, understand, and respond to the world around. My work is centered around using spatial computing and machine intelligence to unlock new value for buildings. I am currently at Google and lead design for Home Intelligence at Google Home.

Previously, I was leading ambient computing efforts for Google Assistant. I was also a researcher at the MIT Media Lab City Science Group where I focused on architectural robotics, environmental sensing & building automation. Prior to MIT, I worked at Harvard’s REAL Lab, IDEO, and BKSK Architects.

I have Master in Media Arts and Sciences from MIT. I was also formally trained as an architect with a a Master in Architecture II from the Harvard Graduate School of Design and a Bachelor in Architecture from The City College of NY.
