I make things, then I make them work

I paint. Actual paint, actual water, a book of it I published and sold by hand. I also build: a fictional government portal deployed on Cloudflare, an AI pipeline with the human decisions drawn in on purpose, a dating platform’s Spotify API stunt.

Those are not two people. The painting is where the taste comes from, the code is how it gets out of my head at the size I want it. A dating platform 5,000 students use. A horror world strangers write into. A card game two programs teach with.

The job I’m best at is the one that needs both: find the idea, prove it with data, then build the thing that carries it. Branding a channel at CJ ENM, creator pipelines at Medicube, creative tech at Disney this fall.
Next: summer 2027, somewhere the water is deeper than I can reach alone.
