I’m a technologist and self-taught animator now living in Bucharest, Romania.

In 2023 I stepped away from tech to make Fracti, my first animated short film. After the long year of making the film itself, another year of festival screenings around the world followed. Somewhere along the way, I found myself moving back to Bucharest, after 14 years abroad in the US and Switzerland, as if the film had quietly shown me the way home.

My most recent project, Silent Poems, is an interactive coding art project. Go to the website and start typing: https://silentpoems.net/ (desktop-only)

Every now and then I post a poetic small animation on Instagram, where I was lucky enough to find an audience.
