Skills

I’m a creative hybrid — part audio architect, part systems engineer. With 15+ years in both music production and web development, I’ve built a career where sound design meets server design. Whether I’m crafting beats or building infrastructure, I approach every project with precision, originality, and the drive to make things work beautifully.
