Software Engineer Real-Time

About

I'm a creative software engineer focused on building real-time, interactive

applications across mobile, web, and embedded platforms. Throughout my career, I've designed systems that blend intuitive user experiences with technical depth — from cloud-connected IoT solutions to dynamic graphical interfaces for musicians, educators, and engineers. I specialize in mobile app development (Swift, UIKit, SpriteKit), embedded systems (C/C++, RTOS, Embedded Linux), and creative technology that connects people to devices in new ways.

Currently, I'm developing an educational chemistry game and an interactive musical performance platform — bringing together real-time responsiveness, playful design, and hands-on creativity. I’m passionate about making complex technology feel simple, expressive, and alive.
