-In my day job I find novel uses for interactive, immersive and games technology for training and simulation.
-I am passionate about free and open source software, and the importance of developing tools that serve everyone.

-<p>
-I tinker for fun and when I can, make things inspired by physics, the universe and boundaries, physical, imagined or otherwise.
-I am currently most enamoured by optics, orbital mechanics and relativity.

-Besides computing, I like caring for my plants, photography, and studying language, culture and philosophy. 
-I explore fashion, makeup, gender expression and regularly see live music.
