this cat is finally out the bag š
after 9 months as a Content Specialist III at Meta (on assignment with Tundra Technical Solutions), iāve transitioned back to working for myself.
at Meta, i contributed to AI-driven trend detection systems helping improve how the platform surfaces timely, culturally relevant content to millions of users.
i honestly had one of the most positive professional experiences of my career! š
ultimately, i needed autonomy, again, over my time, my workspace (i learned the difference between wfm & remote š), my creative direction, and my work overall.
canāt wait to share all iām working on now š„¹ cheers to new beginnings! š„

Last night I demoed my job-feed agent live at AI Tinkerers Barcelona. I think it went well!
It scores each Contra posting out of 10 against rules I wrote in plain text, drafts the good ones, and declines the rest by citing the rule.

scoring each job out of 10 is cool. how many rules?
Client Project: Poffibites
Poffibites is a modern makhana (foxnut) snack brand developed for today's mindful snackers who want healthier alternatives without compromising on taste, convenience, or experience.
For this client project, I was responsible for creating the complete brand identity and packaging system, including 5 flavor variants.
The identity was built around the belief that healthy snacking should feel exciting, approachable, and memorable. The custom logo features soft, rounded forms that reflect the brand's friendly personality while creating strong recognition across digital and retail touchpoints.
To differentiate the brand within the crowded healthy snack category, I developed an illustration-led packaging system where each flavor unfolds as its own immersive world. Rather than relying on conventional ingredient photography, the packaging transforms flavor cues into narrative landscapes, creating stronger shelf impact, clearer flavor differentiation, and deeper brand recall.
The result is a scalable FMCG branding and packaging system designed for both D2C and retail markets, helping introduce makhana to a modern global audience through storytelling, strategy, and distinctive visual design.
Recently shipped this motion-first agency website for Verq.
I handled the frontend architecture and development, with a focus on making the website itself feel like a showcase of their work.
WebGL, scroll-driven motion, GSAP, Lenis, Next.js, TypeScript and a Strapi CMS all tied together into a responsive site the team can update themselves.
Case study: View the Verq project on Contra
Iām open to new projects where the website needs more than a standard template particularly interactive marketing sites, agency websites and product experiences.
