Robin

Welcome to my space on the web! I get up to a number of things here, mainly sharing my personal creations and writing.

But first, a bit about me: I'm a young technology and language enthusiast dedicated to creating magic and finding beauty in the obscure. Virginia is where I call home.

When it comes to languages, I'm most drawn to art projects that blur the line between nature and formalisms. I spend a lot of time thinking about conlangs like Toaq, and have taken an amateur interest in formal semantics.

As a technologist, my ultimate goals are to facilitate the repossession of personal data and power from tech companies. Currently my work is focused on making open, distributed systems such as Matrix more usable. I also just love designing things—fonts, games, tools, interfaces, whatever makes for a good puzzle!
