About
I am an artist in transition. In my past life, I was a senior software developer and tech lead at a multinational software consultancy
After taking some time off to explore my desultory interests and rediscover my creative spark, I decided to dive into the pursuit of my creative work, which currently spans illustration and storytelling, and will hopefully continue to grow and meander around the confluence and boundaries of both.
Among other things, I enjoy FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software), ethical and alternative tech platforms, composting, growing plants, regenerating the soil, and reading. Thanks for dropping by!
