Publications

I write at the seam where philosophy meets emerging technology, with regular detours into climate, ethics, and the question of how to live a considered life inside a culture that no longer leaves much room for one.

My peer-reviewed research has appeared in the Association for Computing Machinery; my essays have appeared in Built In, One37pm, CryptoSlate, and across Medium's philosophy, technology, and climate publications. My first book is forthcoming from Putnam & Smith in August 2026.
