About

I co-build and make communal tools that combine land-based art and technologies.

My work and research centre community expertise, lived experience, and technological sovereignty, rooted in my community and neighbouring communities.

Member of Tecnomilpa collective, where we develop community-led technology including solar powered mesh networks for rural connectivity, educational tools and workshops, and other infrastructures shaped by the people who use them.

My teaching brings critical computing perspectives together with hands-on building, grounded in low power computing, hardware and telecommunications.
