Background:

I graduated from the University of Arizona with a bachelor's of Architecture in 2004. I then worked for The Architecture Company, helping to transition the firm from 2D to 3D accurate Building Information Models while also designing collaborative processes with MediaWiki. I had the opportunity to work on master plans, new constructions, and historic preservation projects with a variety of local, multi-state and international consultants and agencies. I share an interest of understanding information as a force for positive change in our built environment and smarter systems.
