About me

Independent engineer, designer & applied researcher.

I'm a self-taught engineer and designer based in St. Louis. I build software, create visual identities, and investigate the science behind complex processes.

My work spans full-stack development, automation, computational graphics, and independent applied research. I like understanding a problem deeply, then carrying it through to a finished result.

don't think in job titles. think in systems.
