Biography
My background spans the technology gamut, from hardware design to software architecture. I'm passionate about education and emerging technologies. I love Art and Science - and I enjoy building bridges between them. I'm always looking for fresh perspectives and new ways to look at data.
I devote much of my time to the realm of digital credentials. I believe that the Open Badges standard has the power to help catalyze significant advancements in education - and I'm working to help organizations understand and engage with badging technology. I lead the open source project Badgr: http://badgr.io
In my spare time, I design and build interactive lighting installations which showcase the beauty of complex systems.
