Bio

Working on different projects across various sectors has exposed me to all sorts of problems, ideas, and ways of thinking. Some have been fairly straightforward, while others have sent me down rabbit holes I hadn't planned on exploring. I've come to enjoy that part of the experience, since there's always something unexpected to figure out, another perspective to consider, and something new to take away.
