-- I am a freelance lighting designer/technician with a passion for the specific intersection of technical challenges - with creative expression. My journey in lighting began in primary school, where I didn't want to perform in the - school play and got put behind - the technical desk instead. At that point, something clicked in me, and I've been driven to create new experiences - for audiences by the spark that was lit that day throughout the rest of my life. I grew to greatly appreciate how - light can affect mood and atmosphere, and I've found it fascinating to explore these relationships through technical - execution. + I am a freelance lighting designer/technician with a passion for the intersection of technical problem-solving with creative expression.

- This passion for stagecraft is contrasted by a long-running interest in software engineering. Aside from working in - software for a living before transitioning into lighting full-time, I still program for clients on occasion. The - software projects I take on now usually involve some blend of art and technology. Such projects have included custom - integrations with external tools for live show concepts, automation tools for solo live-streaming and remote - production toolings to help enable remotely-produced events during social distancing. + This passion for stagecraft is contrasted by a long-running interest in computers, and a solid background in software development.

- A perfectionist by nature, I deeply value preparation, attention to detail and reliability without losing sight of - the spontaneity brought on by the creative process.
