Hello!

I am a PhD student at the University of Washington in the School of Computer Science & Engineering.

I work on dynamic media, end-user programming, convivial & equitable computing, visualization, learning communities, creative tools, and tangible/spatial computing.

I'd love to hear from you: joshuah@alum.mit.edu.
