Life is truly a journey. Mine began in Bakersfield, California, but three months later took me to northern Afghanistan 🇦🇫. I took the scenic route through India 🇮🇳 and Malaysia 🇲🇾, and am currently braving a four-year foray through higher education at Texas A&M University, studying Communication and Professional Writing. Along the way I've learned musicmaking, storytelling, the art of performance, and technological mastery.

Wanna see where my journey takes me next?

Open source he/him, making Veridian Expanse (@vexpanse). I made the Chipmunk2D physics engine, and some other fun libraries. By day, I do a lot of game adjacent work like theraputic VR, real time drone mapping, and math for heavy machinery.

Sorry for all of the recent account moves! this should (hopefully) be the last account migration for a long time.
