Real-time video at work.

I build live video and real-time collaboration software at Cisco. After hours I play piano, lose evenings to videogames, and write small apps for everyday life. Eight of them live below, one per key.

Programming · building now This redesign

Real-time video at work; small, private apps at home. Mostly Go and PostgreSQL, each one scratching a household itch.

Piano · on the stand Allegro from Six Light Keyboard Pieces, Op. 52, No. 2

My sheet music lives on an iPad on the music stand, which is exactly why Noted exists.

Videogames · playing 007 First Light on PS5

Still love a good handheld. The game shelf is catalogued in Anthology, right beside the books, movies and music.
