Who I am
I live at the intersection of the technical and the imaginative. Whether I'm designing a mechanical system, building software, writing music, or sitting with a hard philosophical question, the same instinct drives me — to understand deeply, then create with intention.
"Shalom" means peace, completeness, wholeness. It's not just my name — it's the thread that runs through everything I make. I want the things I build to hold together, to mean something, to last.
These projects are either in motion or on the horizon. Come back often — this place grows with me.
Systems thinking
From mechanical tolerances to software architecture, I love understanding how parts relate to wholes.
Made for humans
Every project — technical or creative — is ultimately for people. Warmth and clarity are never optional.
Long-horizon thinking
I'm interested in ideas that endure. Music, theology, good design — things built to outlast the moment.
Projects & pursuits
A mix of the shipped, the in-progress, and the dreamed-of. All of it is real.
Software · Featured Project
A software project built with care. KADsuite represents the professional software side of my work — follow along on Instagram and visit the site to see what's being built.
Mechanical Design
Mechanical systems designed from the ground up — where engineering rigor meets aesthetic intent. Projects in progress and coming soon.
In motion
Game Design
Game design is world-building with rules. Exploring mechanics, narrative, and play as creative forms in their own right.
In development
Music
Music is how I speak when words aren't enough. Compositions, arrangements, and sonic experiments — more to share soon.
Always in motion
Theology · Philosophy · Metaphysics
Why does anything exist? What is goodness? How should we live? These aren't abstract to me — they shape everything else I make.
Lifelong work
