W1-1ABOUT THE PLAYER

Two decades shipping software across web and mobile. I work full-stack and cross-platform - iOS, Android, and the browser - and I sit comfortably at every layer, from data model to interface.

I blend engineering with UI design and product thinking, working from a drafted spec, a plan, and a built-out task list toward a solid implementation. The same discipline keeps AI coding agents productive rather than noisy: put well-scoped context in, and code I can actually trust comes out.

W1-6BONUS STAGE

Three channels, always on. Me at a glance.

MUSIC

SHAPE

Off the clock I make noise instead of software. Producing, mixing, and playing drums in the band SHAPE - hit play and turn it up.

GAMING

PLAYER ONE

Raised on platformers and classic RPGs. Chrono Trigger is my desert-island cartridge. The time-travel plot and those triple techs are still unmatched to this day.

HORROR MOVIES

BE KIND, REWIND

I can talk horror for days, anything from cult classics to modern slasher icons. The Universal Monsters have a special place in my heart.
