Credentials
The paperwork — degree, certifications, and what comes next.
Signal, system, model. The degree taught me sound — how it moves, how it is captured, how it is mixed. The networking certifications taught me how to move it cleanly across distributed systems at scale. The AI work is teaching me how to model it. Every credential here is in service of one question: what becomes possible when we treat audio as a first-class signal?
