About

I’m a music and sound enthusiast currently exploring New Zealand on a Working Holiday Visa, blending creativity, tech, and a love for hands-on projects. From producing tracks in a hybrid studio setup and running live sound at events, to helping train AI language models, I thrive on tackling new challenges and learning along the way. I’m passionate about sound, technology, design, and business, and I’m always curious about how these worlds can collide to create something fresh. Whether collaborating with artists, teams, or clients, I bring energy, adaptability, and a problem-solving mindset to everything I do, and I love connecting with people who share that drive.
