About Me

Building at the Intersection

I'm a cybersecurity student, blockchain enthusiast, filmmaker, musician, and personal trainer who thrives where disciplines converge. From engineering crypto tax tools to directing film productions, composing music to coaching strength training—I approach every challenge with curiosity and precision.

My Journey

My path has taken me from the chemistry lab to the Blockchain, from network packet analysis to cinematic storytelling, from audio engineering at Guitar Center to optimizing human biomechanics. The common thread? A love for understanding complex systems—whether blockchain consensus, musical harmony, TCP/IP protocols, or movement patterns.
