About Me

I build systems that turn complexity into something humans can actually use.

My interests and work sit at the intersection of data and product, taking pipelines, models, and messy datasets and shaping them into tools people actually want to interact with. I’ve developed production data systems in financial risk technology and worked with machine learning across academic and applied contexts.

What’s always drawn me to this work is the top-most layer: the experience. How an interface guides attention, how complexity gets translated into something intuitive, and how design makes a system feel trustworthy, not just functional.

Outside of work, I document the world the same way I approach products—through composition, constraint, and intent. Shooting across ten countries has shaped how I think about structure, pacing, and detail, whether I’m framing a shot or a user flow.

Right now, I’m building products that are both technically rigorous and thoughtfully designed. To me, those two things are one and the same.
