// About

Hi there. I am a researcher, designer, and developer. I like pictures big in every way from big data to cultural theory. As a PhD student in the Human Centred AI Lab at the University of Oxford I am investigating how institutional power is mediated through technical infrastructures from user interfaces to web protocols and data structures in a 3-year studentship with the Ethical Web and Data Architectures Project at the Oxford Martin School. I have also studied the Social Sciences of the Internet at the Oxford Internet Institute.

Before returning to academia I worked on the strategic insights and product management team at Splunk, a Nasdaq 100 company and the world leader in unstructured and machine data analytics. There, I conducted research on applying differential privacy to distributed data analytics systems, virtual workload monitoring and prediction, and applications of ML for process optimization.

In 2017, I earned my BA cum laude with distinction from Yale focusing on cybernetic systems and digital media. I am now London and Oxford based, but always a native San Franciscan at heart.
