Experience
At the MIT Media lab, I am working on applying machine learning on large-scale journalistic corpora. Prior to MIT, I was a McCormick scholar at Medill (Northwestern) and a fellow at the Globe Media Lab (Boston Globe, NYTCO). I have worked as a software architect and development manager for Bell Canada, leading Business Intelligence and data integration teams in Toronto, Montreal, London (Ontario) and Bangalore. Apart from software engineering and journalism, I have also worked on some small-scale collaborative art projects.
Why
The proliferation of heterogeneous technologies in a digitally connected world requires new ways of using design technology to seamlessly integrate interacting media. I want to understand new forms of human technology interaction that are modular and technologically agnostic; in addition, I am interested in spaces that combine technology, art and design.
