BIO

I build the technology behind creative work. Real-time graphics, production tools, interactive experiences, and everything in between.

For 19 years I've worked at the intersection of design and engineering, building pipeline architecture, artist-facing tools, and interactive systems for studios and brands. From Metal shaders to web platforms to AR experiences, I go wherever the interesting problems are.
