Hello, I'm Gage

I am a programmer based in NYC specializing in web design, full-stack development, and real-time collaborative systems.

Currently a participant at Recurse Center in Brooklyn, where I am studying languages and font-end frameworks (namely, TypeScript, advanced React, and Go), local-first software design (specifically CRDTs), distributed systems, audio programming and digital signal processing.

Previously, I was a Philosophy instructor and researcher while working on my PhD at Fordham University. My research examined issues related to consciousness, accessibility, and ethics, which have shaped how I approach software design and user experience.
