I build accessible, user-centered web applications, with 20+ years of experience leaning into frontend and a UX-first approach to engineering. My design background lets me work fluidly with product and design teams, translating concepts into interfaces. I’m comfortable in the backend and I pick up new stacks quickly.

I am also a multi-disciplinary artist and designer. I explore the divide between analogue mediums and bleeding-edge technology, most often through the use of photography and videography.

I’ve been engaged in two forms of creativity for most of my life: making photographs and using computers to create. I have a Bachelor’s of Fine Art in Interactive Design from The College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan, US. I have a Master’s of Photography and Design from Elisava School of Design in Barcelona, Spain.

I currently live in Barcelona with my partner, three kids and three dogs. We all love art and technology. Including the dogs.

I would love to chat about your project or open engineering role.
