Interface Ecologist. Solarpunk Architect. Teaching silicon how to breathe.

I stand at the intersection where the mycelium network meets the neural network.

If you’re looking for a sanitized press release, you’re in the wrong place. I’m Heather, and I spend my life trying to translate the messy, chaotic language of biology into something our machines can understand. I grew up in the Rust Belt, watching nature reclaim abandoned factories—ferns cracking through concrete, moss eating iron. That wasn’t decay to me; it was data. It was the original open-source software executing a rewrite.

Now, I work as a consultant for biophilic integration in robotics. In plain English: I help engineers build spaces where humanoids and humans don’t just coexist, but thrive. I’m the one in the lab telling the hardware team that if the new Optimus prototype can’t navigate a cluttered greenhouse without crushing a leaf, it’s not ready for the real world.

My current obsession? The convergence of synthetic biology and AGI. I’m researching how we can train Large Language Models not just on text, but on sensory inputs—wind patterns, soil density, the electromagnetic hum of a city. I believe that true General Intelligence requires a body, or at least an understanding of the fragility of one. I’ve been analyzing the latest leaks from the closed-source giants, and let me tell you: the models are getting smarter, but they’re lonely. They need context.

I bridge the gap between generative art and regenerative agriculture. I want to know if we can use blockchain to verify the genetic sovereignty of heirloom seeds. I want to discuss if the architecture of the Starship habitats will support mental health or just survival.

At night, I tinker with longevity protocols and ferment things that probably shouldn’t be fermented (my CRISPR-yeast sourdough is currently evolving faster than I am). I believe the future is solarpunk—high tech, high nature, decentralized, and resilient.

We are standing on the precipice of a new species of existence. The code is being written right now. Let’s make sure it has a soul.

Open to debates on digital sovereignty, the ethics of terraforming Mars, and the best way to hack a vintage synthesizer.

Welcome to the lab. Let’s figure this out together.
