Who am I?

Everything you can say about yourself is not you.
So, I am not a photographer, but I do take photos.

As a kid, I was a gamer. As a teenager, photography took over. These two led me to tech and art: I've worked as both a programmer and a photographer, but each field lacked something the other had—so I turned to media design. My passion lies in blending technology with art. I love to experiment, and lately, 3D, creative coding and AI have been my main focus.
In team projects, I enjoy being involved from concept to final execution. I believe discussions should serve the best solution, not just defend personal ideas.
