In 2017, I co-founded viewport with my best gaming friends: a video game site that set out to enrich video game culture. For five years, we produced reviews, features and podcasts. We covered shows like E3, PAX West and Gamescom, and built working relationships with publishers and developers along the way.

SUPERJUMP is a grassroots games magazine, home to award-winning features, opinion and reviews of indie and AAA games. In 2022 and 2023, I worked with them to publish features and to produce and co-host Season 4 of the SUPERJUMP Podcast.

Peak ranks
A yearly party-game tournament I ran and streamed with my elementary school friends, with points on the line across Mario Kart, Mario Party, Smash and more. I produced it like a real broadcast: a run of show, recorded player intros, a new logo each year, a live scoreboard and multiple cameras.

I was head of production and a league admin for Aegis Esports TFT's circuit: three leagues split by rank, weekly tournaments, two of Riot's NA subregionals for TFT, and the live co-streams and analysis shows around them. I led the production team behind the graphics, the run of show and the observer setup, and hosted some of the talk shows myself.

I've played Final Fantasy XIV since A Realm Reborn. In March 2020, a few friends I'd met in another Free Company and I started our own. I ran our events, from glamour contests to in-game weddings, helped with recruiting, kept our Discord running and built our website. In between, I raided high-end content as a Machinist, chasing parses.

I reviewed articles for grammar and prose before each issue of Aetherflow, a Final Fantasy XIV fan magazine, went out.
TASH, Toronto Anime Social Hangouts, brings the city's anime fans together in person. I organized karaoke nights, board game meetups and photowalks, and photographed the group's events, from beach days and Anime North to a party on two yachts.
In August 2023 I co-founded Toronto TFT, the first city-based TFT community and the biggest. It grew a culture of its own: active, inclusive by design, and home to everyone from casual players to regional pros. We partnered with Riot Games on prizing and support, were one of the key partners handing out the tarot cards Riot made for Set 12, and in January 2025 ran Team Throwdown with Riot: an online 4v4 tournament in Riot's second NA subregional.

I'm the production manager for the GG Orchestra, a Bay Area nonprofit that plays video game, anime and film music. For Legends After Dark, the orchestra's Herbst Theatre debut, I led the show's operations: back of house, front of house and logistics. Day to day I run the orchestra's operations and logistics, its community Discord included, with more shows on the way.

I take a camera nearly everywhere: on long train rides, to tournaments and on trips abroad. These are the photos I keep coming back to.

Everything else on this site happens around a day job in software. I lead engineering teams, and I've done it at Twitter, at Klue and, now, at Roblox.
