Side Projects

Generative Art

Three interactive web apps exploring procedural and algorithmic art. Exhibited and sold as physical prints.

Tessellation patterns inspired by Keith Haring and M.C. Escher, generated via Google OR-Tools CP-SAT constraint programming. Produces interlocking organic shapes without translational symmetry repetition.

Dynamic programming / Markov Decision Process solver for stochastic resource-constrained project scheduling. Computes optimal contingency strategies that outperform static priority rules.

Personal Life

Born in the USA, I lived most of my life in the Netherlands. I recently moved to London, UK, to be in a more tech-hungry startup ecosystem. In my free time, I enjoy travel off the beaten track, gym, basketball, and photography.
