I never picked a lane — and at this point I've stopped apologizing for it. I'm an artist who codes, a technologist who studies the brain, and a builder who's about to go chase a physics PhD. To most people those look like four different people. To me they've always been one question wearing four outfits.

I started in networks and cybersecurity — learning how information moves and how it breaks. That pulled me into cloud architecture, where the job is building systems that stay standing when everything is trying to knock them down. Then I went and got a master's in applied cognition and neuroscience, and realized I'd been studying the same thing the whole time: how a complex system takes in the world, decides, remembers, and holds together.

The art was never separate from any of it. Music, drawing, 3D, color — that's not a hobby I do after work. It's how I think a problem through before I ever open an editor. The composition comes first; the code is just one way to render it.

Now I build Cosmic Crate as CTO, run a fleet of AI systems on my own hardware, and I'm pointing all of it at physics — because under the network stack and the neural stack there's a physical one, and I want to understand the rules it actually runs on.

If you're working on something that doesn't respect the usual borders, we'll get along.
