About Me

Creative
Technologist

Making cool digital stuff that actually helps people, blending tech, design, and a bit of heart.

My Journey

Started with writing code and asking ‘what if we made this... but better?’ and somehow turned that into a career. With a background in Computer Science and a Master’s in Media Communications, I’ve been blending tech, creativity, and a healthy dose of curiosity ever since.

I’ve built platforms, led projects, and even made it to the global Top 8 at the Stanford Longevity Design Challenge. Along the way, I’ve worked on everything from educational tools to intergenerational board games, all driven by the same mission: use technology to solve meaningful problems and create things people actually enjoy using.

When I’m not building something, I’m usually traveling, exploring new ideas, learning whatever catches my interest, or making people laugh (intentionally, most of the time). Life’s too short not to enjoy the ride.
