Senior Software Engineer· Freelance & Contract

An engineer who thinks like an artist

Bringing ambitious ideas to life.

I help startups and small businesses ship polished web products, real-time 3D, and games — engineered with an artist's eye and a strategist's instinct.

01About

An engineer who came to code the long way around.

I grew up obsessed with games, computers, mathematics and physics — but didn't write a line of code until university. I started in Civil Engineering, couldn't stay away from computers, and ended up double-majoring in Software Engineering (3.5/4 in both).

That shows in how I work: I think about architecture, systems and algorithms before code, and the heavier math shows up in the game mechanics and optimizations I build. I approach the web the way an architect and a designer would — structure and feel first.

Web is where I make my living, but games are where my heart is — I want to build experiences with the craft of a Path of Exile 2 or a Terraria.
