With over 10 years of experience with building for the web, I have offered services ranging from fully managed websites to transitioning away from legacy platforms. For over 5 years, I have implemented a single source of truth by refactoring multiple databases in several projects. · Built web-based video games, including multiplayer with Node.js. · Rich landing pages using WebGL with Three.js. · Integrated online payment with the Stripe platform. · Improved Google page speed insight by 40-60 points on average. · Developed JSON APIs in PHP to expose data to collaborators. · Familiar HTML/CSS, the JAMStack, many PHP CMS, and Node.js.

At this practice known for its place-making, I deepened my knowledge on projects ranging from conceptual propositions to construction documents. My work is always rigorous and thorough, using the latest technologies best suited for the task at hand. · Built testing tools for key project metrics using Grasshopper, ranging from sustainability to unit mix. Solar analysis as part of the design process leads to major savings in building envelope performance. · Leveraged BIM to deliver project documentation on tight deadlines and trained the team throughout, exceeding all targets. · Streamlined internal scheduling systems to reduce typical feedback loop to under a minute.

· Skilfully produced images for a research project offering an alternative to the 2020 Tōkyō Olympic stadium. Published in The Japan Times, Rethink Tokyo and Designboom. · Designed and worked all phases of a house and studio in central Tōkyō with tight spatial and regulatory constraints.

· Developed winning concepts for offices and urban strategies in mainland China and Japan. · Built complex digital generative and data-driven models, and trained others to do it. · Produced and reviewed photo-realistic architectural and urban renderings.

· Honed my model-making skills using rapid prototyping tools like foam, resin casting, 3D printing and laser cutting. Managed the office fabrication lab and training. · Curated and designed a successful exhibition of the ongoing projects of the office, with a strong focus on process, iterative and multidisciplinary work. · Won a competition for a mixed-use project.

· Learned the philosophical foundations of fabricative knowledge, research-creation and interdisciplinary techniques and received several grants from SSHRC. · Developed a series of self-sustained prefabricated shacks for the Canadian climate. http://www.farmmresearch.com/mmot/
