Someone said, “curiosity feeds experience, but more importantly, experience feeds curiosity”. I can attest to that: leave me long enough with any topic and I'm doomed to find a fascinating angle to it.
So I ended up doing research in fields as (apparently) disconnected as musical instrument design and real-time collaborative software, pre-ToyStory-cal 3D graphics and foreign language acquisition, non-verbal language in portrait photography and teaching methodologies in Argentine Tango.
I'm always happy to connect with people who are working on something interesting, especially if it's something meant to help others live better lives rather than gluing them to a screen. Feel free to drop me a line.
