Computational Design Intern - Core Studio, Thornton Tomasetti (New York, NY)

May - August, 2016

+ Employed by Thornton Tomasetti’s in-house research and development group. While at Core Studio, I was tasked with developing tutorial files focusing on incorporating Rhino Grasshopper and Revit Dynamo interoperability into structural engineering workflow, files which were added to TT’s shared library and presented by me at Monthly Skype meetings for Dynamo users within the office. Additionally, while at TT I was a participant in the first annual Dynamo User Group meeting hosted at Handel Architects. + Secondary tasks included production of testable parametric models for upcoming projects, using photogrammetric software and drone footage to construct RGB mapped 3d models of projects currently in developement, assembling code linking Particle.io boards to weather sensors, and producing dynamic infographics of the resultant data

Work-study - Digital Futures - 3D Printing Lab/research - Pratt Institute (New York, NY) January, 2014 – May, 2017

+ Work-study position within the school of architecture intended for conducting research involving accessibility and advancement in technology of desktop 3d printers and 3d-printing software. Duties include work on custom designed desktop printers as well as specialty printers, such as DLP Sinters, Ceramic printing delta-printers, and large-scale FDM printers. Also through digital Futures, I have developed computational design tools as aids for various projects, ranging from Undergraduate Degree Projects to projects within the Morphology Department.

Teaching Assistant - Pratt SOA, Department of Representation (New York, NY)

January - May, 2016

+ Teaching assistant for Anthony Buccelatto’s Representation 2 studio course. Primary duties included tutorials in software and drawing critique.

Columbia Boathouse. This is a proposal for a boathouse for Columbia’s crew team. by myself and a partner The project engaged complex programmatic and typological relationships, negotiating specialized and public space for two distinct groups of users.

Lower Manhattan Archive. This is an early design from a 200 level studio in which I experimented heavily with a concept that prioritized the organization of program over the articulation of forms, electing instead to create an engaging proposal through context and primitives

Applied Computation Pavilion. An older project which exhibits some early parametric tools I learned, including Grasshopper Kangaroo, Smartmesh, and karamba, as well as intelligent mesh topology editing.

Thesis Research Drawings. These drawings are experiments in ascribing formal and compositional tactics to key concepts associated with my ongoing thesis research at Pratt.

Desert Crawler. This project is a proposal for a crowd-sourced 3d-printer which prints a small-scale trail across a desolate and dynamic landscape: the Skeleton Coast in West Africa. The proposal is actually surprisingly plausible, with workable gear and cam relationships.

Design Machine. A partner and myself designed and built a gcode accepting drawing machine which itteratively sketches architectural proposal drawings on a bed of sand. Pictured here is the machine itself and experimental drawings based on the machine’s output.

Digital Futures. These are experimental 3d-Prints from printers built in-house by mself and other work-studies at Pratt institute. These prints (ceramic and large-scale plastic) were produced with custom linework and gcode, created, compiled, and exported by myself.
