Hi, I'm Geoffrey. I'm a PhD student in Computer Science at MIT in the Software Design Group. My goal is to make programming radically more accessible, so that everyone can build and tweak their own software.

These days:

• I'm exploring schema evolution + interoperability in decentralized systems with the Ink and Switch research lab
• I'm continuing to develop Wildcard, a platform that empowers end users to modify web applications through a spreadsheet interface.
• I'm thinking about extension ecosystems and evolvable software

Previously: I was an early engineer at Panorama Education (YC S13), an edtech startup building data analytics software for K-12 schools. I helped grow Panorama into a market leader that serves 10 million students.

Here are some things I've made:
