Engineer at the intersection of AI and creativity. Mountain photographer. Colorado-based. Building tools that put AI in the hands of creative people at Obvious.
Nineteen years of engineering across startups, studios, and independent work. Four degrees from the University of Nebraska: CS, Physics, Philosophy, and Music. None of them were a mistake.
When not at a keyboard: mountain biking Colorado trails, shooting chiaroscuro portraits, brewing pour-over coffee, 3D printing functional parts, and cooking plant-based meals. This site is a lab for all of it.
