Programming since 1984
Software, AI, platforms, infrastructure, interactive systems—and occasionally things that don’t fit neatly into any of those categories.
01 / The common thread
The technologies change. The part that interests me hasn’t.
Understand the problem.
Build the system.
Make the pieces work together.
My first computer was an Apple IIc. I was a kid, personal computing was still new, and the Web didn’t exist.
I taught myself Logo, BASIC and Pascal, then moved into C and C++. There was no Stack Overflow, GitHub, YouTube or AI assistant—just books, experimentation, breaking things and figuring out why they broke.
That habit never really stopped.
I studied classical piano for around fourteen years. At fifteen, a Yamaha SY22 introduced me to electronic music, sequencing, MIDI and sound design.
Music became part of my professional and creative life through production, studio work, live performance and the music business—and taught me another kind of system thinking.
After studying Film and Media at Sapir College, I began professional freelance work around film and television productions and recording studios.
Video editing, motion graphics, 3D, sound, post-production and web development eventually converged into interactive media.
I worked extensively with C++ and openFrameworks, building realtime graphics, video and computer-vision systems using cameras, projectors, sensors and physical spaces.
The work included OpenCV, Kinect, depth cameras, tracking, multitouch, TUIO, OSC, realtime video, multi-screen environments and interactive installations.
I built an experimental multitouch system from the ground up: custom hardware, cameras and sensors, computer vision, Linux, C/C++, Kinect/OpenNI, touch detection, TUIO and the applications running on top.
If the tool I needed didn’t exist, I tried to build it.

Applications need somewhere to run. Databases need to stay healthy. DNS, SSL, networking, caching, observability, security, backups and scaling all become part of the product.
02 / The latest chapter
AI feels less like a new discipline and more like a continuation of what I’ve always done: connecting software to the real world and giving systems more ability to understand, decide and act.
AI agents, tool use, MCP, human-in-the-loop workflows and multi-agent applications.
RAG, vector databases, semantic search, document AI, OCR and retrieval pipelines.
OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, open models, local LLMs, Ollama, llama.cpp and GPU inference.
n8n, APIs, messaging, business workflows and systems that move from insight to action.

04 / Creative technology
Projection mapping was distributed realtime multimedia infrastructure before I ever started calling myself a platform engineer.
C++, openFrameworks, warping, calibration and realtime multi-projector control.
01 ↗ Computer visionTurning physical surfaces into large touch interfaces using Kinect.
02 ↗ TrackingKinect, OpenCV, openFrameworks, OSC and networked vision experiments.
03 ↗ InterfacesA bridge between depth-camera tracking and the TUIO multitouch ecosystem.
04 ↗ Distributed renderingSynchronization and rendering across clusters and tiled multi-display environments.
05 ↗ Realtime controlOSC remote control for projection mapping and interactive media systems.
06 ↗ Live visualsVJ and realtime visual-software experimentation.
07 ↗ CalibrationProjector-camera calibration and interactive projection research.
08 ↗05 / The public archive
GitHub captures only part of the story, but it documents a long trail through creative coding, web platforms, commerce, infrastructure and automation.
Some older repositories are migrated archives or personal forks used in larger systems; the complete list is preserved here rather than rewritten as sole authorship.
