Primary tabs

My interests lie at the intersection of Math, Physics and Architecture. This allowed me to build an appreciation towards computation and its potential in Architecture, practically, technically and theoretically, which shapes a lot of my work and projects. 

Beyond that, I am keen to learn more about the digital tools that are used in translating Architecture.
