Hello World
My first blog post.
Creating technology to expand what's possible.
I'm Isaac, a software engineer and builder operating where technology and design meet the physical world.
A recent Cornell Tech MBA (Class of 2026) based in New York City, I work across full-stack engineering, AI-powered applications, and utility-scale energy infrastructure. Prior to my MBA, I was coding in NYC and SF — most recently as a senior engineer at Camus Energy, where I developed software to accelerate the renewable grid transition nationwide.
I'm also a photographer and fabricator. My projects span interactive hardware driven by microcontrollers and e-ink, along with 3D-printed and CNCed sculptures. My art has appeared as large-scale installations at Burning Man and in gallery shows in San Francisco. Through all of it, I create tools and experiences that expand human capability and foster connection.

A Burning Man 2023 installation that reads "NO DANCING" from afar but up close tells stories of mass incarceration. As lighting lead, I designed and CNC'd its hexagonal "hexbox" fixtures.
A 30-foot tree caught mid-headstand, built for Burning Man 2022. I CNC'd the interwoven plywood trunk over several months and helped raise it in SF and on the playa.
