I love turning complex engineering challenges into smooth user experiences using React, TypeScript, Zustand, and Three.js, and I enjoy crafting scalable frontend architectures with Nx and modern tooling.

Beyond code, I explore generative art with Python, GLSL, and TouchDesigner, and enjoy collaborating across disciplines to ship polished products with compelling visuals and interactions.
