Video & Creative
I film and edit the kind of content that makes a brand look its best — and I do it end to end.
- Filming and editing video
- Content for ads and social media
- A consistent look for your brand
- A second set of eyes on creative ideas

Engineer's logic, artist's eye.
Where I come from
I'm studying biomedical engineering at USC (BS), with a product development engineering master's on the way. I've spent time in labs on health and science research, and I'm comfortable digging through data to find what actually matters — with MATLAB, R, and Python.
What I've been up to
I've worn a lot of hats at small startups — running the day-to-day, designing products, writing the code, and helping things grow. Right now I'm building two apps, Statz and Bink, that real people use every day.
