About

I am, if I’m being honest, an artist and a writer first, and a programmer second. That doesn’t diminish my love for building, quite the opposite. The tension between these two selves is what propels me forward. It has taken years to reconcile them, but I now find myself grounded in the space between expression and construction, at a particularly interesting moment in history. Anything I build inevitably carries the imprint of that position: a perspective shaped by language, art, and a deep attention to the human experience. I like building for myself first. If I am the first user, I have a personal stake in whatever I create.
