story

grew up in a military family, moving between bases and overseas. learned to adapt fast and build things from scratch wherever i landed.

now in san diego. i surf la jolla shores and blacks when the swell shows up, and snowboard when it does not.

what i actually like doing is turning messy real world signals into systems that hold up in production.
