A little about me

Technology is what I do.
Creativity is what keeps me curious.

I’m a Senior IT Support & Web Specialist in Princeton University’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. I also take on independent IT and technology consulting projects.

Away from the keyboard, you’ll usually find me growing trees, photographing the night sky, building something, or figuring out how something works.

Lost Photons · Astrophotography

Looking up.

Astrophotography is a practice in patience and perspective. Long nights, careful data, and thoughtful processing reveal worlds just beyond what the eye can see.

Ente Bonsai · Horticulture

Growing.

Bonsai is equal parts horticulture, art, patience, and problem solving. It keeps me grounded, teaches me to see details, and constantly reminds me that progress takes time.

Photography & creativity

Looking closer.

Beyond the night sky, photography is how I hold on to color, character, and the small details that make a place feel alive.
