About Me

Building things that move people

I'm a creative developer with 7 years of experience crafting interactive experiences for studios, startups, and global brands. I specialize in Three.js, WebGL, and GSAP — bringing static designs to life with physics, particles, and precisely timed motion.

When I'm not coding, I'm experimenting with generative art, contributing to open-source tools, or exploring the overlap between computational design and architecture.
