My experience includes freelance, agency, and product work, consulting, teaching, and occasional research.
I work best in small, creative teams where I can contribute to many aspects of projects.
A fast-paced, early-stage VPN startup where I was responsible for improving the company's online presence and establishing it as a serious competitor in a crowded market.
Web Production (Freelance)
Feb 2021 - Oct 2021A satirical social media account evolved into a thriving online business with merchandise and social media integrations, all thanks to a high-performing and quirky website.
A demo of a multiplayer tag game (unreleased). It's made in Unity with C# and Blender assets. It uses a decentralized LAN network model where every client is trusted implicitly.
A large game server network with an integrated CDN and redundant infrastructure, as well as powerful management tools. This involved integrating different platforms and stacks, using AWS for backups and CDN, DigitalOcean for the web backend and management tools, and various bare metal providers for the game servers themselves.
An internal network using Tailscale, providing secure access to all network resources, including cloud infrastructure, bare metal servers, and my home lab for testing. It also includes access to network storage and development VMs for my freelance developers.
Since I was young, I have had a strong passion for music. I began taking piano lessons when I was 4 years old, and music has been a significant part of my life ever since. Over time, I developed a fondness for various music genres, and I have since crafted my own unique musical style, blending the subtle, dramatic, and emotive elements of classical music with the melodic release and energy of punk, rock, and metal music. I started singing in 2015, began playing bass in 2019, and picked up the guitar in 2021. They say that once you've mastered the piano, you can learn any instrument, and that has certainly been true for me. My musical background has provided me with a lifelong passion and career, for which I am incredibly fortunate and grateful. Currently, I am performing in the southern Maine area and actively seeking new opportunities to showcase my talent. Feel free to get in touch with any opportunities or bookings!
The beauty of 3D artwork lies in the combination of logical and abstract creative thinking. A captivating visual concept can manifest in your mind and then be realized through elegant shaders and math.

An intense scene based on a song of the same name by Mushroomhead (a personal favorite of mine).
A short animation based on a foggy twilight in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
A scene based on the office at my first job in Maine, where I worked 12-hour overnight shifts in a datacenter.
One of several concepts for an (at the time of writing) unannounced and unreleased co-op adventure game.
A snowy scene created for the album art and Spotify Canvas for my latest single, My December.
The first serious work I did in Blender, a S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-inspired scene based on views from the hills around Boston. It's not immediately clear, but the cable on the left side is intended to be a cable used to restrain barrage balloons like the ones seen in the distance over the city. An abandoned truck is also barely visible on the hill on the left side.
I take pride in creating simple, effective, and efficient websites without relying on frameworks or libraries unless necessary. This site is built using only HTML and CSS, ensuring it can run on any device from the past 20 years. It's designed to use minimal memory and load quickly. I prioritize SEO and performance over flashy animations. Additionally, I use semantic HTML throughout the site and avoid using <div> tags in the source code. The template-like behavior is achieved purely with CSS and the site is designed to be fully responsive. Feel free to resize your browser window and let me know if you encounter any layout issues.
