About Me

Hey! I'm a software engineer and musician from New York City. I record music and write software, and travel a decent amount with a guitar and a laptop to do these things in various places, with various people!

I love exploring and meeting folks from all over. I've pretty much always got a guitar on my back and a smile on my face. I'll probably also have some juggling balls and a Rubik's cube or something like that.

I develop mostly web, iOS, and Android apps. It's pretty creative and fun stuff. I work for a software consulting firm.

Music is huge for me: I'm into punk and metal music, but I've studied jazz my entire life as well, and I'm big into jazz and ambient music. The record I'm working on now is a weird mix of science fiction bluegrass ambient space metal with banjo and blast beats and distorted science quotes and soft melodic ambience. Yeah.

Anyway, let's hang out!
