I am a working journalist and a professional computer scientist. I’ve written for Wired.com and CNET, and more recently I’ve been working on web projects with the International Herald Tribune, and reporting for the Jakarta Globe. I’m also back to school in the Master of Journalism program at the University of Hong Kong.

I have previously designed parallel programming systems for Adobe Systems, built machines that shoot people with fire for the award-winning art group Interpretive Arson, and hiked into the Ethiopian highlands and swabbed babies’ eyelids in the name of epidemiology research. I’ve also done time as a technology entrepreneur.

I write (and sometimes sell) short stories . My fiction and personal observations often end up at  Equivocality, where I also administer the yearly Writer’s Travel Scholarhsip. I once wrote an erotic haiku about calculus.

These days, I mostly think and write about how the internet can be applied towards greater transparency, increased self-government, and ultimately the happiness and amusement of people worldwide. No, really.

You should contact me.
