Projects

  • An automated dimmer made for Raphaele Shirley’s neon light installation that can perform simple repeating brightness patterns.

  • A new website for Atmosphere of Sound, based in the UCLA Art|Sci Center, which sponsors performances and exhibitions from many artists throughout the year.

  • A midi- and hand-controlled choral synthesizer. Uses precise gestures to produce a variety of words in real-time.

  • A green line graph on a black background labeled "Water Level" in white. The y-axis is labeled with numbers between 500 and 850, increasing in increments of 50. The x-axis is labeled with hours starting at "5PM" and increasing in intervals of two hours over the span of 2 days. The line begins at roughly 650, gradually drops to around 600 halfway through the width of the graph, spikes up to around 825, and gradually drops back down to around 700.

    A small, IoT enabled water level sensor that sends automated email alerts.

  • A screenshot of a colorful website. At the top, a series of tabs read ITP, Admissions, Curriculum, The Floor, People, News, Events. On the left, an image labeled "Sally, David Leyva" of a homemade wooden box with several holes in the side with the words "Hi, I'm Sally!" written in black marker.

On the right, a medium-sized image labeled "Pendulux, Phil Caridi" shows a large black suspended pendulum over a wooden floor.
