Beyond the work.

Music

I produce electronic music in experimental, ambient, and psychedelic styles. I also create software tools for music creation and performance. I built a custom DJ application that a friend uses on stage while touring globally.

Music player coming soon. A few tracks from the studio.

Trail Running

My happy place is high on a mountain top powered by my own two feet.

Tinkering

Despite being a senior manager, I still build things with my hands. The Stanford CCRMA portfolio represents years of instruments, plugins, and audio experiments at the intersection of music and technology.
