Background
AboutArt, technology, and making things work
My background is in fine art. Today I build software, shape products, and help teams turn complicated ideas into something people can use. I like working across the creative and technical details rather than stopping at the brief.
That can mean designing a game world, building a useful tool, opening a ceramics studio, or connecting strategy with day-to-day delivery. AI is part of the toolkit; judgement, craft, and collaboration are still the work.

Quantitative research, systematic strategy development, and market analysis.
Institutional Bitcoin Escrow
