Who I Am

More than a résumé

I've never fit neatly into one box — and I've stopped trying. I'm a photographer who studies cryptography, a technologist who chases golden-hour light, and above all, someone who believes the best work starts with genuinely caring about people.

"Presence, patience, and intention guide everything I create."

Behind the camera, I move through each moment with awareness — observing, anticipating, and letting the story unfold naturally rather than forcing it. My work lives at the intersection of modern digital storytelling, aerial perspective, and the intimate nature of film.

In technology, that same discipline shows up as care for the person on the other side of the problem. At Apple, I've spent years turning complex technical issues into calm, human conversations. In cybersecurity, I bring that vigilance to protecting what matters.

At the center of it all is a simple conviction: the present moment is the prize, and people are the point. Whether it's a wedding day or a security incident, I show up fully.
