Programmer
I found my passion for programming writing GW-BASIC in 1993, and I have 7 years professional development experience with embedded devices and robotics.
While I no longer work in the industry, I still love to code, primarily in C++. You can find many of my current projects on GitHub.

Guitarist & Composer
I’ve been a heavy metal guitarist since high school, and I’ve been composing music in FL Studio since 2004. I gravitate toward instrumental compositions, soundtracks and film scores. I’m currently working on the OST for the video game Megabat.

Live Streamer
For 5 years I’ve streamed puzzle games on the Twitch platform.

Any of the creative work featured on this site you can often watch in progress on the Observation Deck channel.
