building at the intersection of hardware and software.
i built my first pc when i was 12, just to see if i could. that eventually turned into Prism PCs, a custom pc business that did over $10k in revenue.
before that i was deep in fortnite creative, building maps that hit 4k+ concurrent players and made over $1,000. that's probably where i figured out i liked making things people actually use.
i interned at Magic Hour, an AI company, working on a voice dataset pipeline for voice cloning. i'm studying cs and ece, with a long-term focus on computer engineering, where hardware and software actually meet.
i also co-founded CodeBridge to teach kids to code in middle schools, started a web agency called Presence, and shipped a chrome extension called Traced.
spent some time in banff this past winter, it was truly magical.
(if you also nerd out on cameras like me, i shot these on a fujifilm xt-30iii)
