About

Background

Jamaican immigrant, first-gen, and now a US citizen. I'm self-taught across every creative outlet I use today and bring them together in sync and harmony to create.

Earlier

Built my first computer at 8, tinkered with Raspberry Pis, created and ran Java Minecraft servers, and spent elementary school playing and building around video games.

Now

Building up GIEBEL internationally. After graduating high school this May, I'm spending summer '26 working on GIEBEL infrastructure, travelling, and collaborating on a project with a new friend.

Interested in

Artificial intelligence, human computer interaction, design, discrete mathematics, music production, hardware, society, psychology, and philosophy.
