Resume

Full Stack Developer | Electronic Music Producer | Digital Artist

From sequencing synthesizers, fiddling with retro emulation art, to programming applications, something about my brain really loves configuring something in the “sweet spot” of aesthetic (auditory and visual) and usability. Once I can send my http requests through a low-pass filter, I’ll have reached my final form. Ten years of bartending gave me a work ethic, tech gave me a more rewarding place to apply it. You can usually find me at the crossroads of too focused on the task at hand and down a rabbit hole.
