I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
– Isaac Newton

Who I Am
I'm someone who finds joy in building, lifting, and learning. By day I work in quantitative finance building software systems; outside of that, I spend time powerlifting, tinkering with synthesizers, exploring math, and diving into art and design. I love seeing how abstract ideas can become concrete tools, and how play can sharpen serious work.

Arkestra?
The name is a nod to Sun Ra’s Arkestra — a reminder that creativity, structure, and improvisation can (and should) coexist.
