Hello World
My first blog post.
Creating technology to expand what's possible.
I'm Isaac, a software engineer and MBA candidate at Cornell Tech (Class of 2026) in New York City. My work blends technology, design, and systems thinking — spanning front-end engineering, AI-powered applications, and large-scale energy infrastructure projects. Before graduate school, I was a senior engineer at Camus Energy, where I built tools to support the renewable grid transition.
On my creative side, I'm a photographer and builder. My projects range from interactive installations and e-ink hardware to large-scale art at Burning Man and photo exhibitions in San Francisco. I focus on creating tools and experiences that expand human capability and foster connection.
