As a Creative Technologist and Interactive Developer, I bring ideas to life by building new kinds of interactive experiences. With over a decade of experience spanning design, programming, and engineering, I’ve developed everything from rapid prototypes to large-scale museum exhibits. My work explores how technology can produce captivating visuals and solve complex, creative challenges.

I bring a well-rounded perspective to taking projects from concept to execution. Whether writing custom software in TouchDesigner and C++, or integrating mechanical systems with diverse hardware, I enjoy mastering new tools and workflows to bring ideas into reality. This multidisciplinary approach—shaped through years of freelance work, agency projects, and high-demand positions like Deployment Engineer—enables me to deliver thoughtful, technically sound, and engaging results across a wide range of work.
