I'm a computational scientist, composer/producer, keytarist, and occasional science fiction writer.
As a scientist, I focus on computational biology in translational research. I'm a Technical Fellow at RCRF, where I use an evolutionary approach to study rare cancers, looking for insights that can guide treatment and discovery. With my Vendekagon Labs projects, I fuse scientific computation and creative coding, exploring the patterns that underlie biological complexity.
As a composer, I've released music across multiple projects. I first reached a larger audience with my synthwave project, PatternShift. My work has been used in film, television, video games, and various ads and promotions. Highlights include: Russian Doll, Severance, Stranger Things, This Place Rules, and NOVA. I have a low-cost, single-stop licensing subscription model for all of my self-owned music (which is most of my catalog). You can also find a demo reel here.
I wrote the Vaskania Prime science fiction trilogy, which grew out of the world-building that drove the composition of several of my PatternShift albums. I am particularly proud of the concluding book, Mistakes of the Makers.
