Two disciplines, one obsession: building things that move. An engineer's rigor meeting an artist's eye.

01By day

The Engineer

Lead software engineer building performant systems and owning the system design behind them. I set the technical direction for the team, ship AI automation and AI solutions into production, and grow engineers through design reviews, pairing and clear standards. Architecture decisions, performance budgets and delivery stop with me.

The Artist

I sculpt, rig and animate worlds in Unreal & Blender, and build games for the love of the craft. Off the screen, the same focus wins badminton rallies and chess endgames. Different arenas, one competitive mind.

The technical arsenal.

Five years across performant, cloud-native systems: grounded in system design and C++ systems programming, extending through AWS architecture, distributed back ends, real-time 3D and AI automation, and now leading the engineers who build them.

Things I've built.

A shipped execution-visualizer business, a spatial control surface for containers, a self-hosted OAuth2 server, and two desktop tools that do something the OS won't. Open any one of them for the full story.

[ LIVE_FLOW ]WEB · AWS

Live Flow

2026

A hosted execution visualizer for Python and JavaScript/TypeScript. Run a file (or a whole project) under a tracer and scrub its execution as a live runtime graph. Shipped, paid, and running on AWS.

FastAPINext.jsReact FlowAWS+1
[ LOOM ]DESKTOP · PODMAN

Loom

2026

A Podman-native spatial control surface. Your container estate as a live, zoomable, directly-manipulable graph, where the graph is the control plane, not a picture of one.

GoReact FlowELKSQLite+1
[ PHOENIX_AUTH ]AUTH · SELF-HOSTED

Phoenix Auth

2026

A self-hosted OAuth2/OIDC authorization server and B2B identity platform. One container serves the protocol APIs and the operator console on a single port. No SSO tax, no MAU pricing, and user export includes password hashes.

PythonFastAPIPostgreSQLNext.js+1
[ PORT_SHARE ]P2P · DESKTOP

Port Share

2026

A desktop app for peer-to-peer file transfer over WebRTC: direct, encrypted, with zero server-side storage. There is no signalling server either, which is the whole architectural thesis.

PythonTkinteraiortcWebRTC
[ GLIDE ]VISION · DESKTOP

Glide

2026

A webcam becomes a pointing device. Real-time hand gestures drive the cursor across the entire multi-monitor desktop: move, click, drag and scroll, with no hardware beyond the camera already in the lid.

Sharp on the court,
sharper on the board.

The same focus that ships features wins rallies and endgames. Watch a masterpiece replay, then a live smash-and-lift exchange.
