Hi, I'm Phil
Creative Technologist | Researcher | Storyteller at the Intersection of Art, Design & AI
What I Do
I build immersive, interactive experiences that bridge the digital and physical worlds — whether it’s through XR, AI-driven art, or large-scale festival installations. My goal is to create joyful, thoughtful technology that connects people and inspires wonder.
From AI-powered storytelling apps to VR data environments, my work explores how we interact with emerging tech, and how that tech can feel more human.

About Me
I'm a highly motivated engineer with years of experience working in fast-paced, interdisciplinary environments. I have a very strong background in C#, Javascript/Typescript, Python and Unity. With experience creating applications for a range of AR/VR technologies, I'm passionate about building new technologies and experiences that inspire in order to develop the future of human/computer interaction.
I recently completed my Masters in AI at MIT and am doing research at the MIT Media Lab under Prof. Dava Newman, combining generative AI, mixed reality, and climate data. Previously I have worked at Microsoft on the Commercial Software Engineering team (CSE) where we collaborate with Microsoft’s top partners, ranging from start-ups to fortune 500 companies across many industries. We work alongside their lead engineers, developing solutions to solve the company’s toughest technical problems.
Before that, I was doing research in the Fluid Interfaces group at the MIT Media Lab and worked with the Robot Locomotion Group in MIT CSAIL while studying Electrical Engineering & Computer Science at MIT.
Current Focus
I’m currently exploring the intersection of AI and creative expression—building systems that collaborate with humans to generate unexpected and meaningful outcomes. I’m also fascinated by spatial computing and building new types of tools for collective exploration and storytelling.
Let's Build Something
I'm always excited to collaborate on new ideas, whether you're looking for a creative technologist, a research partner, or just someone to jam on weird and wonderful concepts with. Let's connect!
