04 / Beyond the title
Curious by default.
Thoughtful on purpose.
The best software comes from paying attention—to the system, to teammates, and to the person using it. That principle has carried me from camera apps and medical imaging to smart homes and cross-device computing.
This site is also my space to share the work and ideas that matter to me beyond a résumé. I’ll be adding writing, side explorations, and a fuller picture of the things I’m learning along the way.

05 / Current work
Making Godot feel native on iOS.
I contribute to the work that lets a Swift or SwiftUI app host Godot’s renderer and scenes—without making the app itself a game engine project.

Open source contribution
SwiftGodotKit
A Swift package that embeds Godot inside existing iOS and macOS apps. My merged contributions address iOS lifecycle reliability and binary dependency updates.

Embedded Godot on iOS
I traced an iOS startup crash to missing display-server method bindings in the 4.6 embedding path and submitted the fix upstream. I’m also investigating the remaining touch-input delivery issue.

Godot 4.7 compatibility
While the upstream kit is still based on Godot 4.6, I maintain a Godot 4.7 branch of SwiftGodotKit and an embeddable engine fork, with a working native iOS sample.
