About

I'm a technologist and entrepreneur with a background in the arts.
I like making, breaking, and fixing things. 

I drifted from audio to tech - I ran a netlabel, played music, and mixed and mastered dozens of records. Curiosity pulled me deeper: I learned how to prototype circuit boards, network low-latency microcontrollers, craft public installations, organize teams, published a paper and presented @ New Interfaces for Musical Expression 2020. I've designed multiple interfaces in hardware and software, along with the "back end" that makes them work. A decade in IT and AV and 4+ years in information security gave me the technical depth to not just design solutions but implement and secure them. My superpower is empathy, seeing from other perspectives to create delightful, useful experiences.

My strengths:

• Creative problem-solving - Years breaking and fixing systems taught me efficient solution-finding

• Pragmatic execution - Startup experience taught me to put business survival over 'cargo culting'

• Human-first design - Systems that reduce friction win with users, see "curb cut effect"

• Clear communication - Tailoring complex technical info to stakeholders and keeping it real

• Adaptability and learning - I'm a voracious reader, curious autodidact, and stay up to date

I thrive on messy, ambiguous challenges where time matters - and am convinced that technology should bend to people, not the other way around.


I don't write emails with AI, but i'm happy for bots to code while we focus on what matters
