Hi! I'm Ping. I'm an engineer who loves to help and delight people. Sometimes this means humanitarian work, sometimes political action, and sometimes interactive art.
Here's my CV, and
below are some projects I've made or helped create.
Here's a fuller list of things I've done. I'm still figuring out how to organize it.
