graphic design
The artist began his graphic art and design journey in a course in middle school, where he learned how to photoshop. To this day, photoshop is one of the artist's strongest tools for isolating and emphasizing form in different contexts of his urban digital photography.

music
The artist began playing the piano at 5 years old and studied at the Aaron Copland Center for Preparatory Musical Studies at Queens College.

The artist went on to complete his Bachelor of Arts degree at Columbia University in Pure Mathematics, completing an undergraduate research experience (REU) in Paris, France, on Algebraic and Arithmetic Geometry. The artist's scientific and mathematical background influenced the logical and iterative lens with which he perceives the world, with an eye for shapes, forms, shared homology, and convergence.

The artist has worked for several years as a full stack software engineer and UI/UX designer in Javascript, React, and Python, increasing the efficiency of critical data intensive algorithms by up to 90%, implementing time saving tools and user analytics, and revamping a company's external communications designs through the application of universal design principles. The artist's technological background and experience with drawing app mockups influenced his paintings of rounded rectangles and his iconographic painting style.
