I am glad that you found this readme. Few would go looking here.

I lead the teams that transform hard professional workflows into software people actually want to use. At Creamsource I led Slyyd, which pioneered app-first lighting control and won the 2026 HPA Award for Innovation in Production & Capture.

I am a compulsive builder, continuously experimenting, and happy about it, especially when working outside of my comfort zones.

Most of what I build ships inside a product or stays private, so the graph below carries more of the story than this repository list does. What lands here is the occasional tool that proved useful enough to publish.
