DESIGN

I design cutting-edge applications and websites. As a previous founder of a music tech company, I led our design to create engaging user-experiences that translated seemlessly into development processes.

DEVELOPMENT

With extensive experience in both front-end and back-end applications, I’ve managed, built, and developed everything from the simple WordPress website to the complex integrated application.

MUSIC

Music is in my passion. I’ve personally been involved in multiple records and have my own recording studio here in Redwood City, CA.
