The path so far

This isn't a traditional résumé. It's the factual timeline + the context behind it — the work, decisions and side paths that shaped how I build systems today.

I studied Computer Science with a strong pull toward systems that go beyond software-only — the intersection of automation, data and the physical world.

Until
2025 (spun off into Tsaru)

At United Codes, we didn't just build software — we built a high-tech office as a living proof of concept. We filled the building with sensors, controllable lighting, doors, feedback LEDs, screens and interactive touchpoints, and connected it all into an Oracle APEX application. We called it the House of the Future: a place designed to awe visitors and deliver a coherent, tailored experience — engineered end-to-end. That work became Phase 1. The mission continues at Tsaru, where we can focus entirely on smart homes, hardware, and the systems that make “magic” real.

Chapter
Spin-off from United Codes
Focus
Smart home systems + dedicated hardware
Status
Early-stage (details limited)

We spun off into a dedicated company focused entirely on smart homes and hardware-backed systems. Details are intentionally limited — but the direction is clear: build technology that lasts and earns trust. More to come later.

Parallel tracks

Not side quests — training grounds. These are the environments that keep my builder mindset sharp.

The builder’s lab

  • 3D printing • prototyping • DIY hardware
  • Device hacking & integration work
  • Home Assistant • automations • system design

This is where ideas become real — where constraints force better engineering decisions.

Engineered wonder

  • Theater & events tech — timing, coordination, recovery
  • Theme parks — experiences that feel effortless because they’re engineered

I care about systems that feel magical on the surface — but are disciplined underneath.

This path isn't finished.

If you're building something ambitious — especially where software meets the real world — I'm always open to a good conversation.
