Things I've built that bridge philosophy, cognitive science, and engineering.
Queer Robot Companion (Pax)
Lead architect of a queer-affirming robot companion system. The prototype models gender fluidity as a dynamical state variable that evolves through interaction, demonstrating how AI systems can represent non-normative identities.
This project explores fundamental questions about what it means for artificial agents to understand and respect human identity—particularly identities that resist static categorization.
