Engineering elegant systems. Designing real things. Chasing the redline.

ABOUT

// WHO IS BEHIND THE WHEEL

I'm a software engineer based in Toronto with a deep passion for building things, whether that's full-stack applications, AI automation systems, or CAD models for 3D printing.


My world sits at the intersection of engineering and art, and to me they're one and the same. A perfectly executing system is as beautiful as a Picasso or Van Gogh. When humanity can create machinery that works better than the sum of its parts, does that machine not have a soul of its own?


My favourite art piece is The Garden of Earthly Delights by Bosch, and I previously owned a 2010 Mazda RX-8, which inspired this website. When I'm not smacking my keyboard, you'll find me at the gym, cooking a tasty meal, or cycling around the city.
