Featured album · 2025
December
My music and engineering meet on tracks like “Hell’s Kitchen,” which features the synthesizer I created at Columbia University.
An instrument I made became part of the music I released—a connection between building a sound and writing a song.

05 / About meWhere sound
Where sound
meets systems.
My background connects audio engineering with electrical engineering and hands-on systems work. I’m interested in how things function, how they fail, and how a design can become more useful.
This site brings my projects and technical resources together so you can see the work—and learn something along the way.
I studied audio engineering at Belmont University and electrical engineering at Columbia University.
