Hi, I'm Dan 👋

My career began as a de­signer and fab­ri­ca­tion spe­cialist. I worked with design-build studios in Chicago, New York City, and Pitts­burgh— woodworking, programming CNC routers, using 3D modeling software, and producing original scripts and simulations.

An ed­u­ca­tion in ar­chi­tec­ture instilled in me the prac­tices of rig­orous vi­sual rep­re­sen­ta­tion and phys­ical pro­to­typing. It still in­spires me to be constantly in­venting and testing my ideas. Media con­tinues to be cen­tral to my projects and re­search. In par­tic­ular, I'm in­ter­ested in how the phys­ical in­fra­struc­ture and or­ga­ni­za­tion of the In­ternet in­flu­ences so­ciety and pol­i­tics.

The loosed blog is my laboratory, and it serves as a public log and wiki for all my work and play. Through my re­search, writing, and de­signs, I hope to engage eager hackers to participate in a productive dis­course— in person and online— that em­powers people to in­ter­ro­gate how our dig­ital tools change the way we live and com­mu­ni­cate.

If you’ve found value in my work or want to support more of it, consider sponsoring. Donations and sponsorships are a blessing, and they encourage me to continue hacking, inventing, and sharing my ideas with the world online.

Thank you for your support!
