About Me
Hey there! I’m an Electrical Engineering major at Stanford University from Orlando, Florida, passionate about using technology to create impact and promote diversity in the tech community. I’m driven by a love for learning, collaboration, and building things that matter.
When I’m not studying or coding, you’ll usually find me listening to music, taking photos, or experimenting with web design projects that blend creativity with technology.
Current Focus
Life of Lex Archival Website
I’m currently building a personal archival website that showcases my interests and creative explorations (lifeoflex.neocities.org). This project serves as a living portfolio where I collect and organize images, videos, and experimental media to reflect my evolving interests in technology, art, and visual storytelling.
Bitmapping Project
A major part of this work involves creating a curated collection of images and videos using bitmapping techniques, transforming them into stylized digital forms that explore texture, composition, and abstraction.
Interactive TouchDesigner Installation
Building on this, I’m developing an interactive installation using TouchDesigner, where these videos and images respond dynamically to user input, creating immersive visual experiences that blend coding, design, and interactivity. This project allows me to merge my technical skills with my creative pursuits, experimenting with how technology can enhance personal storytelling and artistic expression.
I will link the most recent projects here once they are complete, so stay tuned for updates.
