About
I’ve always been drawn to systems and how they work. I’ve studied economic models, medical frameworks, and now real-time interactive systems - which is where everything finally clicked. It’s a space where logic, behavior, and design come together, and it’s where I do my best work.
I think structurally and analytically, but I’m most creative when working through technical challenges. I’m usually the one connecting design, art, and engineering. I spot where things break down and figure out how they can work better. I don’t wait for a perfect spec. I ask questions, test ideas, and build toward what the project needs. If I don’t know the tool yet, I pick it up fast. I’m focused on solving the problem, not staying in one lane.
I’m looking for work that lives at the intersection of logic, interaction, and story, where systems shape experience and thoughtful problem-solving moves things forward.

Beyond the Build
My curiosity tends to run deep. What first pulled me toward medicine was a desire to unlock the secrets of the universe. I wanted to understand the biomechanical systems that shape human life. I studied physics, chemistry, and biology. I worked in a research lab focused on cancer systems and was captivated by the intricate ways molecules interact in the body. I didn’t want to limit myself to one lens, so alongside science I studied economics, Russian literature, and mathematics.
This same drive shows up in how I approach life. Whether I’m diving shipwrecks or exploring theme parks, I’m usually thinking about what’s beneath the surface: how something works, how it was built, and how people move through it. I taught myself beekeeping from scratch, built my own hives, and harvested honey after learning every step in the process. I’ve lived in Russia and walked through its literary and political history. I spent time in Ghana with my wife during her doctoral research and came away thinking paved roads might do more for rural health than clinic buildings.
Even in my hobbies, I’m always looking for systems. I track data on my golf game. I analyze underwater ecosystems and the physics of pressure while scuba diving. I study how games like Diablo II & Skyrim teach players in the economic principles of equimarginal optimization (often without them even realizing it!).
