Music
Years of live performance, production, mixing and mastering have trained my attention and creative judgment: listening closely, experimenting with sound, and refining the details of a piece.
I carry that creative mindset into the rest of my life, including research and engineering. It shapes how I explore problems, test alternatives, and develop ideas through iteration.
