I build stuff that challenges the way things have always been done.
For 15+ years, I've been designing, coding, or rethinking entire systems. I thrive in the space between strategy, creativity, and execution.
I’ve led projects for , , , , , , .
I've built platforms that changed industries, and co-founded the first open-source font foundry when the industry said it couldn’t be done. I don’t just solve problems — I spot the gaps, rethink what’s possible, and create something better.
I make sense of chaos. I build structure where there isn’t any. And I believe the best work happens when you question the rules, learn fast, and find the humanity in the tech.
If you need someone who can see the big picture, communicate like a teacher, get their hands dirty, and can make ideas into reality — let’s talk.
