What I Do

Last updated April 2, 2025

I’m writing this so that I can have something to point people to that explains what I do.

My professional work revolves mostly around group coordination. I run Ibis Coordination and help people solve group coordination problems. My work with group coordination is heavily influenced by my experience with comedy improv and with systems engineering (software & data). As part of this work, I also build the open-source app Harmonic Team.

In addition to group coordination stuff, I also draw. When I was a kid I loved Calvin and Hobbes and The Far Side and I wanted to be a cartoonist when I grew up, and I later got my degree in animation and worked professionally as an animator for a while. But at some point I became a software engineer and now drawing is my hobby, which is honestly kinda nice because I can just draw whatever I want and not have to worry about meeting other people’s expectations.

I’m also into meditation and metacognition, influenced by teachers like Shinzen Young and Rob Burbea.
