I want to build something that makes people fall in love." - Cameron Howe, Halt and Catch Fire

Phul

I believe we can create any world we want.
I work on systems, products, and ideas that embody this spirit of progress and creativity.

Creative technologist and writer.

I care about making the world a beautiful place by designing systems, physical infrastructure, and digital worlds with intention and creativity. I am driven to interdisciplinary work that bridges the gaps between strategy, innovation, and implementation.

Currently, I'm focused on emerging communication technologies at Amazon Alexa, after spending time as a tech lead in the Ads org. I was recently published in the Brooklyn-based zine Germination and spent the month of January in Tokyo writing with Astray. I mentor high school students through Minds Matter NYC and in my free time I make things. You can read all about it here.

Previously, at Twitch, I worked on a global baremetal and cloud system distributing video on the edge, orchestrating backbone and caching systems, and leading traffic control management. In a past life I was the news editor at my university newspaper.
