Who I Am

I sit at the intersection of moving images and real-time rendering; a rare hybrid who has shipped photorealistic VFX, commercial video productions, and real-time graphics on the web.

A foundation in music composition evolved into video production, then into graphics and software engineering, and ultimately into AI-assisted workflows. Across fifteen years in the field, that progression has shaped a discipline that connects creative intuition with rigorous technical execution, from concept through final delivery.

Whether leading a team, consulting for a startup, or architecting a pipeline from scratch, the focus remains the same: work that is precise, purposeful, and built to last.
