Get to Know me

Nice to meet you

I investigate complex questions about people, systems, and technology, particularly how people think, how systems behave, and how they interact with one another. My work has focused on psychological research, investigative writing, and projects that combine analysis and creative exploration.

I studied psychology to understand how cognition, perception, and behavior shape the systems we create and interact with. Alongside it, I pursued computer science and writing as complementary tools to understand how technologies shape modern systems, and the other to investigate and communicate those forces clearly. My focus has been on investigation-driven work, from academic research to long-form journalism and independent projects.

I’m drawn to work that examines how systems shape modern life, from technology and media to institutions, especially where complexity outpaces public understanding.

BEYOND of work

On a personal note

Beyond my work, I spend most of my time either outside or building something. In the winter, I’m skiing most weekends, and the rest of the year I’m usually hiking, skating, golfing, or getting outside whenever I can. A lot of my time also ends up in late-night rabbit holes that tend to turn into ideas I revisit later.

Outside of everything else, I spend time painting, working on digital art, and tattooing. At the core, I like creating things that tell a story, whether that’s visual, written, or something more personal. Some of it stays with me, some of it ends up with friends.

I’m drawn to ideas and conversations that go a layer deeper. Things that connect across different areas, challenge assumptions, or don’t have clean answers. Most of what I care about starts there and develops over time, long before it takes a final form.
