I design and build things that are easy to use and meant to inspire. I mostly express myself through software. Before that, I studied languages and logic. I play the violin. I run long distances so my mind can wander. I like to say, half jokingly, "fundamentals are the building blocks of fun." I'm really into music and music history, especially the punk and post-punk movement. Mark Fisher's work shapes a lot of how I think about culture, and I return to his ideas often. Please message me about any of the above, and only if absolutely necessary, about startups or whatevaa.
