Joseph Baker — Senior Creative Technologist
Creative Technology & Experience Engineering. I work in the grey area of technology and human interaction: local AI on the museum floor, public interactives, sprawling networks, media infrastructure. I come into systems that are alive but messy and make them run — documented, secure, cheaper to operate, and easy for the next person to inherit.
Roles: Creative Technologist · Forward Deployed Creative Technologist · Senior Creative Technologist.
Experience across the California Academy of Sciences, the Smithsonian (with Kudos Design Collaboratory), Turtle Beach, Studio 45, Viacom / Comedy Central, and independent art, sound, and photography.
