About me

A passionate creative with relentless curiosity

I’m a superb coder with an artistic mind. Unlike many, I never chose between being an artist or an engineer. I always wanted to do both, so I did. Naturally, after some time, my creativity began seeping into my code and my logic into my creativity, and I found myself hovering towards projects that aligned with those dualities.

I'm determined to change the World. My vision is to use technology and art as tools to challenge the status quo and empower and inspire communities.

What I do? (among many others...)

Engineering
Video
Music
Business Growth
