About Me

At my core, I am a problem solver. I’ve watched more than my fair share of DIY videos, but where I truly find my passion is at the intersection of Art and Technology.

I am inspired by all forms of art, although I have formed a particular appreciation for film and media. I am constantly keeping a pulse on the latest technology and how it can change the way we create. I guess it is appropriate that my name is Pooya, which means Explorer.
