Profile

Creative technologist who builds local workflows for image, video, audio, text-to-speech and speech-to-text pipelines for creative applications — multimodal generative AI spanning image, text, video, vector graphics, web design, audio, 3D, Gaussian Splatting and Web Experience Design. The point is independence: freeing creative work from expensive per-generation AI tools, giving clients full flexibility and unlimited generation on their own devices. I optimize each setup for the limits of the hardware they actually own, which means immediate and long-term cost savings plus freedom from censorship and unpredictable back-end changes. In the creative domain since 2012, working generative AI since 2020 — including the 6,666-work Dreams of Synesthesia collection (2022).
