Overview

I'm a music producer, DJ, and creative entrepreneur with over 10 years of experience in music production, audio engineering, multimedia content creation, and live entertainment. Alongside my music career, I work in technical operations at Tesla, supporting AI, Autopilot, and robotics programs. I've also produced original music featured in official Tesla Optimus demonstrations and presentations, combining my passion for music with emerging technology. As an independent artist and founder of NEUROTECHNO, I manage music releases, creative direction, branding, digital marketing, and multimedia production. My work has reached millions of streams and an international audience, with releases through established electronic music labels. I'm also an active touring DJ with Blade Rave, performing at events across the U.S. while supporting live event production, equipment logistics, setup, and soundchecks. This experience has strengthened my interest in the creative and operational sides of bringing live experiences to life. I'm especially passionate about opportunities where music, technology, creativity, and live entertainment intersect. I enjoy collaborating with teams, solving technical challenges, and turning creative ideas into real-world experiences. My interests include music and audio production, experiential events, creative technology, live entertainment, and multimedia storytelling.
