Info
I'm intrigued by data and the ways in which it shapes our lives. I love working with Time Based Media, especially digital art, and executed the 2016-2017 restoration of BRANDON a 1998-1999 piece of netart by Shu Lea Cheang. My personal projects tend to focus on the conservation/creation of net art, I'm an active skater with Bull City Roller Derby and I'm employed as a Data Scientist/Developer with IBM.

Work
I'm a hard worker.
Technical Work
IBM: Data Insights Squad
As a Data Scientist/Data Engineer I focus on finding ways to implement better Agile practices based on company wide tool usage.
IBM: Extreme Blue
I worked intensively with a team of interns and an MBA to develop and pitch a product to upper level executives within IBM. In the process I gained extensive knowledge of mining and analyzing text at scale, graph databases and microservice development.
Conservation
BRANDON
I executed the 2016-2017 Restoration of BRANDON for the Guggenheim. BRANDON is a seminal piece of net art and I'm very proud to have helped make it available to the public again. Visit the restored site here!
