What is the story?

"Where am I? What is this place?". This is what you're probably thinking right now. And who would fault you for that? If you're here, you probably followed a link, or saw it on a resume. Well, I'll tell you what this place is. This is a place of serious stuff. It is the chronicle of a professional and creative journey. It's a place to find little scraps of inspiration or entertainment. It's candy store, or a theme park. It's big and small, less and more. Hopefully you'll like it here.


Development & Design

These are my most recent projects. They range from icon and interface design, to web development, to low-level programming in Assembly and C. Some have been made commercial, though most of them are open source or still in progress.

Looking for design instead? Here are some websites, interfaces, icons, and posters I designed. *Most of my work is done in Adobe Photoshop and then ported to the relevant medium.

Hi.

Artwork.

I've loved to create art ever since I can remember. This is the stuff I do when I am not coding (well, most of the time, anyway). I mostly work in oils, acrylics, and chalk pastels. If you would like to request a print, please let me know. All handmade art is scanned at a very high resolution so as to maintain the depth and integrity of the work.
