Where Engineering
Meets Art
A journey from algorithms to apertures, discovering that the precision of code and the poetry of light share the same fundamental truth: both seek to capture and create meaning.
The Journey
My path to photography began not with a camera, but with code. As a Computer Engineering student immersed in the logical world of algorithms and systems, I found myself drawn to something more expressive, more immediate—the ability to freeze a moment and tell its story.
What started as a creative outlet during my studies at Purdue has become a profound passion. Photography offers me something that engineering, for all its intellectual satisfaction, cannot: the spontaneous magic of light, shadow, and human emotion converging in a single frame.
The technical precision I've developed as an engineer informs my photography—understanding light like I understand data, composing shots with the same methodical approach I use to architect software. Yet photography has taught me to embrace the unpredictable, to find beauty in the unplanned moments that no algorithm could predict.
Creative Philosophy
Authentic Moments
I believe the most powerful photographs are found, not forced. Whether capturing urban energy or natural serenity, I seek those genuine moments that reveal truth beyond the surface.
Technical Precision
My engineering background brings discipline to my craft. I approach each shot with technical knowledge while remaining open to creative serendipity—balancing preparation with spontaneity.
Storytelling Through Light
Every photograph is a story told through light. I'm drawn to how different lighting conditions can completely transform a subject, revealing new narratives in familiar scenes.
Continuous Learning
Like engineering, photography demands constant growth. Each shoot teaches me something new about light, composition, or the art of seeing—there's always another layer to discover.
Current Explorations
Right now, I'm particularly fascinated by the intersection of urban architecture and natural light—how steel and glass can become canvases for the sun's daily performance. My recent work in New York City has been exploring this dynamic.

As my engineering career grows, I'm committed to keeping photography as a vital creative outlet. The two disciplines complement each other beautifully—engineering gives me the technical foundation and problem-solving skills, while photography keeps me connected to intuition, emotion, and the art of seeing.
Tools & Technique
Current Kit
[PLACEHOLDER: List your camera bodies, lenses, and key equipment. For example: "Canon 5D Mark IV, 24-70mm f/2.8L, 85mm f/1.4L" etc.]
I believe in learning my tools intimately rather than constantly upgrading. Understanding the capabilities and limitations of each piece of equipment allows me to push creative boundaries more effectively.
Post-Processing Philosophy
My approach to editing mirrors my engineering mindset: purposeful and precise. I enhance what was already there rather than creating something that wasn't, using post-processing to reveal the story I saw when I clicked the shutter.

Looking Forward
Photography will always be more than a hobby for me—it's a way of seeing, of staying connected to the world beyond screens and code. As I advance in my engineering career, I'm excited to explore how these two passions might intersect in unexpected ways.
