I have a background in computers and technology. My role in Open Lab is to design, build and deploy apps and websites for various research projects and to administer internal systems to help other researchers. I'm particularly interested in creating accessible and engaging interactions and experimenting with new technologies.
Some of my projects include:
- MozFest 2021 - The schedule interface for Mozilla Festival 2021
- Climate Red - An online climate conference hosted by the IFRC
- Iris Msg - An SMS donation platform for greek solidarity movements
- This website – Open Lab's public website
- Not-Equal Catalyst - A system for viewing project proposals backed by Trello and Google Forms
- whatfutures.org - A global future-forecasting game ran through WhatsApp
- make.place - A mapping platform for digital consultations
Away from the Lab, I enjoy designing and making my own games and experimenting with Raspberry Pis.
