Built on curiosity.
I build software with AI, make films,
and follow the interesting questions.

00 / WHAT DRIVES ME
Space and astrophysics first got me asking questions as a kid. That curiosity grew into an urge to understand, explain, and build. Today it moves between engineering, filmmaking, and art. I enjoy the strategy and planning as much as the making: finding the structure that helps an idea become real.
01 / SELECTED WORK
Things I’ve built.
Some began with a useful problem.
Others with a question I wanted to explore.

02 / FILMMAKING
Stories I want to tell.
Another way to build a world.
One decision, one frame, one cut at a time.

I took Vignette through writing and planning, directing, cinematography, a lead performance, and the edit. I love how a story keeps changing as you find its images and its rhythm. That attention to what someone feels carries into the interfaces I build.
03 / THE SIDE QUESTS
A few side quests.
Small experiments. Sudden interests.
Learning by getting my hands into it.
A LITTLE PHYSICS, A LITTLE PLAYSimple rules.
Simple rules.
Satisfying consequences.
DRAG TO POUR. SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
A summer. An RC plane.
A VTOL idea.
A sudden interest in aviation turned into a small vertical-takeoff experiment, using inexpensive parts I pulled from an RC plane. I got it working a little. The real draw was figuring things out with what I had.
Learning to notice.
Photography is another way I keep looking: at light, composition, and the small details that can change how a scene feels.

My way into
an idea.
A piece of software, a film, or something on the workbench starts the same way for me: understand it, give it a shape, and try it. AI is now central to how I build software—helping me explore approaches, prototype, and iterate efficiently.
01Understand the problem.
+
Ask what someone is trying to do, where the friction is, and what the system actually allows. I enjoy going deep enough to explain it clearly.
02Give the idea a shape.
+
A flow, a storyboard, a working screen. Make the smallest useful version of the idea concrete enough to discuss and try.
03Plan the work. Stay adaptable.
+
I like strategy, sequencing, and coordinating the moving pieces. A good plan makes it easier to notice what needs to change as the work develops.
04Build efficiently with AI.
+
I use AI to explore implementation choices, turn ideas into working prototypes, and work through unfamiliar code. Clear context and focused tasks help me get useful results quickly. I review the code, test the important paths, and take responsibility for what I ship.
05Build, explain, improve.
+
Follow the details through implementation, make the reasoning understandable, and use what the result teaches me in the next iteration.
05 / A LITTLE ABOUT ME
An engineer.
A filmmaker.
A builder
at heart.
My foundation is computer science. My interests have always spilled beyond it. I’m looking for work where technical thinking, product judgment, and creative craft can meet.

A FEW PLACES I’VE LEARNED BY DOING
ACCELQ
MAY — JUL 2025Automation Engineering Intern
Built custom Java actions and reusable regression workflows for an AI-powered no-code testing platform. Earned the ACCELQ Automation Engineer Certification.
JAVA / TEST AUTOMATION / RELIABILITYFlixdin
MAR — APR 2025Software Development Engineer Intern
Worked on a platform connecting filmmaking talent with opportunities. Led requirement analysis, prototyped features, integrated APIs, and built responsive search and discovery interfaces.

The tools follow the problem. I’m comfortable moving between the interface and the system underneath.

Let’s talk.
I’m looking for work across engineering, product, and creative roles.
If something here clicks with what you’re building, I’d love to talk.
