Hey, I'm Adler!
A full-stack software engineer, product designer, and artist.
I am passionate about crafting magical experiences around complex data, information, or sensory landscapes. I strive to lower the bar for non-technical people to succeed in utilizing technology for work, curiosity, and play. My work has manifested as artistic experiments, prototypes of devices and machines, software applications, and developer tools.
I co-founded and am the Head of Product at Comake, where we're working to improve interoperability and composability between software tools for productivity, data ownership, and enterprise intelligence. This work has centered around developing methods and abstractions for scalable software integration, data deduplication & correlation, and information retrieval.
When not designing or building digital systems and experiences, I love to run, cycle, hike, paint, sculpt, and sometimes build furniture.
