Good nights.
Useful software.
I'm a DJ, event producer, and software engineer. I co-founded HONEY and help businesses build through Sandra Holdings.
HONEY / Co-founder
A reason to go out.
I co-founded Honey Group Productions, LLC to bring house and electronic music events to Buffalo. From sunset sets to club nights and 360° DJ setups, HONEY brings people together around the music.
See what's coming up, bring a friend, and meet us on the dance floor.
DJ / Live performance
At home behind the decks.
I've spent more than 2,000 hours playing paid live DJ sets, from Riff City to HONEY productions. House and dance music are at the center of what I play, whether it's a sunset set, a club night, or a New Year's countdown.
Coding / Consulting
From an idea to something useful.
My background spans software engineering at Walmart Labs, ACV Auctions, and M&T Bank, plus research in distributed systems and data-transfer optimization at the University at Buffalo.
Through Sandra Holdings, LLC, I work on web applications, automation, and AI integrations, alongside consulting on event operations and marketing.
