About

Hello, I'm an LA-based creative technology engineer specializing in crafting unique hardware solutions and interactive experiences. With a comprehensive skill set spanning software, firmware, and hardware development, my passion lies in blending art with technology to create captivating installations and prototypes.

Throughout my career, I've thrived in diverse environments — from the methodic chaos of an early startup to the conceptual phase of a brand activation to the detailed development of a bespoke hardware system. Rapid prototyping, intricate control systems, and addressable LED installations are just a few of my specialities. I revel in the process of transforming abstract ideas into physical reality, bringing together form and function in ways that engage and inspire.

While I take pride in my extensive technical abilities, I believe that collaboration is key to innovation. Working with artists, designers, inventors, and other engineers has enriched my work and broadened my horizons. The fusion of different perspectives and skillsets fuels my work, igniting the spark that transforms a good idea into something truly extraordinary.

If you’re seeking a partner for a technical journey, someone who values collaboration, embraces challenge, and won’t shy away from exploring uncharted territories, you’ve come to the right place. Explore my portfolio and discover how, together, we can create unique and meaningful technological experiences.
