I'm an industrious full-stack developer, creative coder, and audiovisual performance artist. I love designing and developing software that enables meaningful experiences for people. With a focus on front-end development, I primarily make use of web technologies for developing both web and desktop applications. I'm a firm advocate of user-centered design and apply best practice UI and UX design principles in my work. With a background in computer graphics and media design, my experience also includes visualisation, simulation, and real-time applications.
