Who I Am

I’ve been fascinated by technology since the BBS days — when being online felt like dialing into a secret world. That sense of wonder — of what if — stuck with me.

Over time, it turned into a dream: to make it to California, to be part of the world building what came next.

While I was chasing that, I picked up a camera. At first, it was just a way to slow down. But it also got me outside — into the natural world, where I’ve always felt most at home. That time outdoors, and the act of really seeing, helped me reconnect with something deeper. I kept shooting anyway.

Eventually, with a mix of hard work and some luck, I did make it to California. I landed roles in music and entertainment, engineering projects at scale — including award-winning shows at Netflix and tools that reached millions. On paper, it was everything I’d wanted.

But over time, my view started to shift.

I started to question the pace. The pressure. The tradeoffs between optimization and attention, between convenience and care. I still love technology. But I no longer believe that more is always better.

For a while, I pulled back from technology. The speed, the noise, the way algorithms seemed to shape everything — it all felt like something special was getting lost. Social platforms were everywhere, but real connection felt harder to find.

But lately, something's shifted again.

Tools powered by AI — when used thoughtfully — have brought back that early feeling of possibility. These days, I’m exploring what it means to use technology more intentionally — to restore human connection, support creative work, and make life a little more efficient in the ways that actually matter.

This site is where I make space for all of that: photography, tools, reflections, and slow experiments in working and living with more clarity.

Where You Might’ve Seen My Work

I’ve always loved building things that feel new — whether it was helping bring Black Mirror: Bandersnatch to life at Netflix, shaping music discovery at Pandora, or capturing a quiet coastline through my lens.

My time in tech has spanned storytelling and systems: from fan-favorite titles like Minecraft: Story Mode to award-winning interactive projects like You vs. Wild and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Some of that work was done alongside teams led by people like Charlie Brooker and Tina Fey’s team.

The biggest splash was Bandersnatch — which earned an Emmy and reshaped how millions experienced storytelling. That project holds a special place on my desk — and in how I think about narrative design.

That work has been featured in The New York Times, Variety, and other media outlets. Some of the credits are on IMDb, but I’m more interested in what’s unfolding now.

My photography has appeared in National Geographic, The Nature Conservancy, and a wide range of news outlets including CBS News, Outdoor Photographer, and the San Francisco Chronicle.

Some pieces made a big splash. Others landed quietly. I’ve come to value both.
