Summary

Software engineer and UX designer with 17 years building products end-to-end — web, mobile, desktop, cloud and embedded. I specialize in realtime systems (secured messaging, VOIP, streaming), agentic AI and analytics, mapping, AR and realtime 3D, and enterprise data — for startups and organizations. A background in film VFX shapes how I think about interface, motion and detail.
