About Spencer Hedges.
Hi — I'm Spencer Hedges. I'm a student developer who builds practical software at the intersection of the web and AI.
I'm drawn to projects where the interface does real work — an extension that surfaces hidden bias in an article, a scheduler designed for the people most often shut out by software, a study tool that children actually want to use.
Outside the editor I like planes, long flights, and the way good typography sits on a page.
