Artist Mentorship:
i’ve been at this for 16 years, and i love sharing what i’ve learned, giving back, developing others, and building community (sometimes for money)
Taking Back The Groove movie!!
i was an executive producer and music composer on a short film documentary about Richie Weeks, a disco star who was exploited by the record industry. sadly this a common story, particularly for people of color. it’s currently doing the film festival circuit. we won 1st prize at rhode island film fest, and my parents loved it.
it was incredibly rewarding telling this story and working in this medium.
more about the film here
i ran a festival onesie clothing line, called Peculiar Colors. it’s currently in hibernation, since it’s too much work, but it was a fun project.
The shop is still online at peculiarcolors.com
engineer
in a previous life, i was a software engineer. i have a bachelor’s degree in computer science. i worked at facebook from 2010-2015 mostly as an iOS engineer building early versions of the messenger and fb app. those were some good times, and i’ll probably never again be able to say a billion people saw my work.
before that, i was engineer #3 at mint.com, a personal finance startup that was acquired by intuit.
before that, i was an IT consultant doing god awful corporate work.
i still think like an engineer and try to operate at the speed of a software startup. from time to time i still write code.
family
i live in east village NYC with my wife Meetu and my son Zian
