The world is fascinating and malleable.
Link tree
Twitter I guess but only bc it's required
Fun stuff I've built
New Democratic Primary: because the Party forgot to run a real one, we ran a last minute secure online election for President
Gather: a platform for virtual places to expand opportunity and connection (this is the one I'm most proud of)
Dynamic ID: simple, scalable, and secure identity (weekend expirement)
Gravity: a decentralized, secure, and open social network (now defunct, but may make a comeback someday)
CourseRoad: a 4-year academic planner for the MIT community
DRSP: a real-time massive multiplayer decentralized virtual world (currently broken because the last peering server is bricked under a table in my old dorm, and I'm busy)
Etch-A-Whiteboard: fully automated 6'x4' whiteboard; give it any image and it renders the edges and sketches them in huge, precise, monochromatic glory
More coming soon...
