About
I love building software — and I love understanding how it all fits together. I tend to position myself across the full development lifecycle, from shaping ideas early to being present at delivery.
Culture matters as much as code. I take an active role in making sure the people around me feel supported, engaged, and efficient — not by talking about it, but by showing up and leading by example.
Before software, I worked in the screen industry — managing technical cohesion across multiple departments in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment. That experience shaped how I think about coordination, pressure, and getting things shipped.
I've always been drawn to design and art. I grew up through the explosion of the internet and the digital space, and that curiosity has never left.
After Hours
I'm enthusiastic about building and maintaining healthy habits. I meditate, do weights, and practice yoga consistently — a holistic approach that keeps me grounded and sharp, in life and at work.
I'm curious about all aspects of life and don't miss a chance to dive into something new — a technology, a discipline, a practice. I enjoy finding bridges between different worlds, whether established or imagined.
I'm also deep into music and Techno — as a listener and an occasional performer and have learned a great deal from the overlapping patterns of music and everything else in the world.
