About

I am a collator, collaborator, researcher, coder & hacker, teacher and queer instigator. In my work, I collectively develop social and technical practices, protocols and infrastructures to make room for accessible configurations of network infrastructures.

I am currently finishing to write up my PhD (Sept 2025) on critical access & queer methods towards infrastructural coalition. I am also a founding member of In-grid, a London base trans*feminist digital arts collective that brings together technical infrastructures, workshops & skills shares, as well as events & parties. I am also a sysadmin of the cozy-cloud.net, maintaining a server to bringing network practices in touch with critical access and crip hacking expertise.

Freelance X Collaborations

I often work as a freelancer, collaborating with and developing for different international artists and researchers. I often take on a role of making room within technical systems, concepts and algorithms for accessible and creative dialogues through artistic methods.

Examples include (but not limited to):

SMUC Kitchen

Working with Victor Bedo at the IXDM, I developed the web app that enabled the community to train their own food distribution system. I also helped to run workshops with the community and iterate it with their feedback from field tests.

Sentinel Self

Working with Sissle Marie Tonn on their S.T.A.R.T.S. funded project to developed the agent system for their artistic simulation. These agents movements based on the Kuramoto model used as a clustering system, and their behaviours emerged through an artificial immune (AI) system. Both of these systems were developed from interviews and references given by collaborating scientist and technical experts.
