I am a self-taught painter and audio-engineer, but these days, I spend most of my time coding. My journey into software development stems from a fascination with bridging technology and fine art while preserving artistic authenticity. The problem-solving skills I've developed through years of creative work give me a unique perspective in tackling complex challenges. I look forward to working and evolving in the field of tech because technology is constantly changing; and like change, growth is also constant.

Audio Engineer · FreeLance
I stumbled into the audio sector because the opportunity presented itself, and I picked up the trade pretty quickly. I began my audio journey as a studio intern at Manhattan Beach Recordings. After a six-month tenure there, I began to work independently, mainly in live sound at several local bars in the Brooklyn area. In addition to live sound work, I ran a plethora of vocal tracking, mixing, and song-writing sessions for various artists; most notably, Wale, DreamDoll, Playboi Carti, Jada Kingdom, and Skepta.

Jeweler/Stone-Setting Apprentice · Riva Precision
As an entry-level jeweler/setter at Riva, I had to learn to read blueprints and implement them into actual pieces. I was able to employ and further improve upon my quick problem-solving skills due to the tedious, hurried nature of the work. While at Riva, I produced over 350 pieces for production (retail). Working as a jeweler in a factory was extremely challenging; due to the fast working pace and high-quality standard, but it's where I discovered my love for problem-solving.
