The origin story
I entered the world in 1986, born in the same hours as the Chernobyl disaster and just days after the last sighting of Halley’s Comet. After being declared without a pulse for over 30 minutes, I decided to stick around anyway, earning the title of "miracle baby" before I could even crawl.
Growing up in the 90s, I spent my time captivated by the "impossible": communicating with extraterrestrials, time travel, and teleportation. I was the kid sketching solar-powered firefighting drones and Hyperloop-style maglev trains long before they were headlines.
Today, that childhood fascination with the future has evolved into a career dedicated to solving complex problems and driving progress through strategic, thoughtful design.
