About me

Where creative vision meets technical craft

I'm a software developer and graphic designer specializing in computer graphics and 2D/3D applications. Since 2015 I've worked on a wide range of projects that blend creative vision with technical proficiency.

My journey into software development and design began with a deep love for computer games. From early on I was captivated by the immersive worlds and interactive experiences games offer, and that sparked my drive to create digital experiences of my own.

Today I combine both worlds: building simulation and visualization software, VR experiences and apps, and designing websites, branding and events, mostly for the skydiving community I love.
