I am a software engineer based in Portland, Oregon. I'm particularly interested in modern web development, UI, and graphics. In my free time I write music, find interesting coding projects to work on, and do arts and crafts.

Perpetual Breakdown is a web app that procedurally generates a metal song in real time. It's a collaborative project by Kyle Paulsen and me. Follow along the live music notation to see how it works.

Music

In my free time I like to play, write, and record music. Over time I've played trumpet, drums, guitar, and bass, but guitar has long been my favorite. I mostly write metal, punk, and chiptune, but I love experimenting, so it goes in other, sometimes bizarre, directions.
