Can AI Help us Quantify Culture's Influence on our Perception of Self?
In the year since initially building the foundations of the Data Introspection Project and building out a practice of personal archival and data tooling, I have been considering what artifacts and purpose might emerge from the idea of taking a data-driven approach to the awareness of one's identity.
On Gender Dynamics & Organizational Change in the AI Industry
I’ve been increasingly interested in the role gender dynamics play in organizational and institutional strategy, especially in the fields of data and artificial intelligence. More than ever, we can see the way that male gender expectations are codified in law and institutional values.
Claude Code is a Floor Bed
Like a floor bed, Claude Code gives you access to more freedom than the traditional software development process might have enabled. I decided to try out Claude for myself. Or at least, I would - if I were able to get a functioning account set up.

As our realities trend toward the algorithmic, we’re no longer just technology users — we are participants in an evolving dialogue between human intent and machine capability. We can watch from the sidelines as a new paradigm in human-computer interaction evolves or we can build it.
Data Introspection & Reclaiming my Digital Self
I hold a lot of value in the 'self' that I express through technology. Platforms like Facebook have an 'irrevocable use' clause in their terms of service that allows them to do what they'd like with your data in the name of 'improving their services', but you technically still own your data.
A Brief Memory: Exploring the Loss and Rediscovery of Individuality
Each person is unique. Our bodies and brains are uniquely shaped to the inputs we are given (or give) them. Our minds are shaped by the information we consume, the people we listen to, the stories we tell ourselves as truth.
