About

Creativity is my catalyst. Whether I'm scripting automations or utilizing AI for content creation, I prefer to reimagine processes rather than just repeat them.

Entrepreneurialism is in my nature. Solving problems is what keeps me up at night (in the best way). For me, AI is a natural extension of that drive - a collaborative partner that helps push ideas faster and further, without replacing the human touch.

My background spans coding, advertising, video production, and audio. I’ve always chased projects that allow me to learn something new. I’m as comfortable coding agentic automations as I am editing footage or choosing the right track. As a lifelong musician and creator, I bring a touch of improvisation to every project.

Blending creative vision with systems thinking, I challenge assumptions, prototype new solutions, and align them with real business goals. Whether it’s shaping a story or building a system to produce hundreds of video variations when existing solutions weren't up for the task, I find excitement in tackling the "impossible" problems.

As a dual citizen of the USA & New Zealand, I’m open to opportunities across the US, NZ, & AU.
