I’ve been leveraging AI to build tools that take the boring out of production, speeding up repetitive tasks, simplifying workflows, and giving me more time to focus on the work that actually needs it.

Social AR
Built for the camera.
I learned Social AR by building on it. Meta Spark AR (RIP), Lens Studio, Effect House, YouTube Effect Maker, each platform gave me a new way to experiment, make weird things, and learn what gets people to actually interact.
Most of my inspiration comes from the stuff I’m already into, games, movies, sports, and whatever the internet has me hooked on that week. Here’s a quick look at some of my favorites.

About Me
If I haven’t broken it yet, I probably haven’t pushed it far enough.
I started my career in front-end development, then stumbled into AR while locked down during COVID and pretty quickly got hooked. I’ve always learned best by taking things apart, breaking them, and figuring out why they broke. Understanding how something works is usually what gets me thinking about what else I can do with it.
That curiosity has taken me from web development into XR, games, AI, and emerging tech, and eventually to where I am today, helping lead Barkley OKRP into new territory across XR and AI.
My background is in Interactive Digital Media and Computer Science, and I later earned my master’s in Human-Computer Interaction. Outside of work, I’m usually playing soccer or tennis, watching way too much of both, playing games, or finding some new thing to get overly interested in.
