About

I’m a versatile musician with a passion for both creative and technical fields.

I’m a dedicated musician, audio engineer, sound designer, and composer. I’ve created music and sound for a variety of commercial and documentary projects, collaborating with well-known brands such as Like Meat, Heinz, and WaterBear.

Alongside my music career, I have nearly 10 years of experience as a Frontend Developer at ChessKid.com (a subsidiary of Chess.com), I’ve had the privilege of contributing to one of the top online chess platforms, focusing on UI/UX design and development.

My time is typically spent in front of a computer, whether I’m developing intuitive user interfaces, composing, mixing, or arranging music. I thrive in environments where creativity meets technology, and I’m always seeking new challenges to push the boundaries of both.
