Hello
The person behind both
I’m a software engineer working on backend systems for the Xbox storefront at Microsoft, building search, discovery, and entitlement systems used by hundreds of millions of players. I care about making things fast, reliable, and accessible.
Outside of work, I’m usually out with a camera or looking for good food. Photography changed how I notice the world and made me more intentional about composition and detail. Engineering is how I turn ideas into shipped products.
Food is just another version of that curiosity for me, whether it’s finding a new place or just a really good bowl of noodles. This site is where all of that comes together.
I like learning about how people build things, experimenting with film and digital photography, and capturing candid moments that tell a story.
