Over the last few years, I served as Creative Director for a
blockchain-focused fintech company called ApeWorX. It was a formative
experience — we grew from a team of 3 to 17 and raised $3.4M+ in
venture capital. But like many startups, ours ultimately shut down
this past January.
In the aftermath, I've been applying the lessons I learned at ApeWorX
to a new series of projects — ones that I hope will offer value to the
broader community and also help me find my way back into building
startups.
Below, you'll find some of the thesis projects I've been actively
developing.
Further down are a few selected video pieces I created for ApeWorX and
other clients. I have a much larger catalog, perhaps I'll save that
for another day.

I'm a full-stack developer with extensive experience in both frontend and backend technologies. My core technical stack includes:
I enjoy projects that bridge the gap between technical innovation and practical implementation within the real world.
Over the years, I've taught digital media, software development, filmmaking, virtual reality animation, startup entrepreneurship, and more at various institutions including Choate Rosemary Hall, SUNY New Paltz, and Jacob Burns Film Center. I've also worked with various film centers and after-school programs across New Haven and beyond. Please see my teaching portfolio below for more details.
