I'm excited about problems, and I want to help!
I'm trying to help students help themselves at Khan Academy, where I'm researching a more joyous and empowering future of learning with May-Li Khoe while leading the mobile engineering team to deliver nearer horizons.
Previously, I helped make iOS 4.1–8 at Apple with the UIKit team, made various open-source creative and engineering tools, prototyped creative tools at Panic, and studied computer science at Caltech.
I write essays about thinking, learning, making, and more. A few:
Thinking
“Blinded by How,” a personal cautionary tale on the subtle but serious dangers of neglecting “why” for “how”.
Learning
“After Class Is Over,” two stories about the path to life-long learning and the endless possibilities that result.
Making
“Leveraged Making,” the metric for considering impact that led me to my current work.
More
“Musical Tone and Perceived Disonnance,” on why we associate musical dissonance with tension.
