I build systems and the worlds they run in: infrastructure automation, AI creative tooling, and Audio and Visual ventures.
I built an open-source media player that just plays the file when you click it, because Apple Music kept answering with an ad instead. Four hours of working with AI got the first version running, and eleven weeks later it shipped on macOS and Windows without me writing a line of C#.
I repurposed a Soviet-era payphone into a piece of entertainment for a bar. A mix of electronics, code, and 3D design lets patrons drop in a quarter and dial their way through the weirdness I programmed into it.
I built a macOS app that converts any track into 8D audio, the kind that circles your head instead of sitting between your ears. It works from real measured ear data, so I can finally get the effect on the instrumental music I actually hyperfocus to.
I built a Chrome extension that screenshots a whole web page instead of stopping where the window does. It scrolls the page on its own, captures every screen, and stitches them into one image with no seams.
I started a company to kill the worst part of publishing media, which was encoding one file a dozen ways and uploading it everywhere by hand. Firepype automated that whole pipeline, then grew into live podcast analytics and dynamic ad insertion before we sunset it in 2016.
I carried a cyberpunk story called Spirefall for fifteen years without the tools to tell it. AI finally closed that gap, so I made the visuals, the music, and the soundscapes myself and put the first piece of that world on screen.
I built a green screen out of light instead of paint, working from a trade show demo I saw twenty years ago. A ring of LEDs sitting on the lens axis bounces off retro-reflective fabric, so the screen only exists for the camera and never spills onto me.
I’m building a do-it-yourself motion-capture studio at home. It’s still in progress, so there’s no full write-up yet, just the rig coming together one part at a time.
