Live visual systems, production websites, and AI-assisted tools — built with live‑show discipline.
[001] About
Systems synthesizer.
Two practices, one operator. I design live visual systems for events that have to work in real time, and I design and build web platforms, design systems, and AI-assisted tools with the same operational discipline.
Through Dot Matrix LLC (est. 2019): Live production — visual systems on Disguise, Millumin, and Resolume for projection, LED walls, and show playback. Design and web — branding, packaging, UI/UX, full-stack applications, and AI-assisted creative tools in TypeScript, React, and Next.js. Design is the foundation of both practices — the systems I engineer support creative expression in evolving forms of new media.

Projects
WavAnimator
Real-time 3D audio visualization built for live performance — a browser-based visual instrument I use in my own sets and the kind of system I build for collaborators. Active R&D, desktop-only, evolving.
TotalRunTime.TVIn Development
Resource for visual technologists, VJs, and media artists navigating technical-to-creative career transitions. Maps pathways from entry-level production to advanced creative roles across lighting, video, and projection systems.
