Software engineer and actor based in Vancouver.

Ghostlight started in 2024 on the dispatch desk at a stagehands' union local. Built The Board to automate crew dispatch — it's handled dispatch for 3,600+ workers across hundreds of shows. The Ghostlight app followed, applying the same approach to casting and creative teams. In 2026 I left the desk to build Ghostlight full-time.

Ghostlight has one goal. Less admin. More art.
