At the piano

Music is the
starting point.

I teach piano, write and record music, and work with images. I’m also the founder and brewer of Iro Tea.

Across music, images, software, and tea, I bring the same curiosity, taste, and care to the choices that shape the experience.

musical point
of view.

What makes a phrase work? What changes when you move one note, alter the touch, or leave more space?

In lessons, we connect technique and theory to what you hear. We work from music you’re playing, build useful habits of practice, and learn to make choices in context.

From classical piano
to jazz.

I began studying piano at seven. At UC San Diego, I played in the Jazz Ensemble and studied jazz piano with Grammy-winning producer and pianist Kamau Kenyatta.

I earned my degree in mathematics–computer science at UC San Diego, where I also studied counterpoint, improvisation, acoustics, audio engineering, and digital signal processing.

My experience also spans software development, websites, and DevOps: building tools and keeping them running.
