// about me
Hello, I'm Pallas.
I'm a creative technologist working at the intersection of computer science and art. I build websites, robots, scrapers, and strange machines that ask questions about human-machine relationships and posthuman feminisms.
I graduated from Allegheny College with a double major in Computer Science and Art, Science & Innovation - Summa Cum Laude, 8th in my class, with a 3.99 GPA. My senior thesis, Am.I., won Best Senior Comprehensive Project in both of my majors.
Today I'm a software developer at Bull Moose Marketing, where I build custom WordPress sites, React dashboards, and AI-assisted tools for clients - and I'm still making art about what technology does to us, and for us.
