I am a passionate and creative developer, with 10+ years of experience in software development for the Apple platforms, capable of leading the entirety of macOS/iOS projects.

I find meaning in crafting well-architected apps that feel both delightful and empowering to its users, with a focus on simplicity and ease of use. In 2014, I built and launched “Meta”, a critically acclaimed music metadata editor for macOS.
