Growing up, I trained myself to see – really see. How light pulls through curtain fabric, how shadow gives a sketch weight. I came to software sideways: through aesthetics, through the kind of attention that makes you want to stop on something and understand it completely.

My work lives where structure becomes experience. An endometriosis screener disguised as combat mechanics – because people don’t fill out forms about their pain, but they finish games. An ARG embedded inside an AI interface, engineered to catch the moment a student stops reading. A Baldur’s Gate 3 expansion at actual studio scale. A chat platform from scratch, because I didn’t want my community’s data on someone else’s servers. Every project starts the same way: a question I can’t put down.

I think about incentive structures the way other people think about color – the architecture of a thing tells you what it values. I try to build tools that belong to their users, that leave scaffolding for whoever comes after me.

4A Interaction Design & Business at Waterloo, founding between lectures. Looking for where I can do the most interesting work – technically rigorous, a little bit magic.
