Scherer
Elegant solutions to complex
and consequential problems.
I build software that brings order to complexity, photograph wildlife from a place of deep curiosity about other minds, and think carefully about what it means to live a deliberately designed life. The drive underneath all three is the same.
What I do
Work, making, photography — one drive, three expressions
Work
Software architecture and systems thinking — building tools that make complexity manageable for the people who depend on them. Consequential problems only.
See the work →Making
Precision craft work — 3D-printed parts, CNC toolpaths, loom accessories built for specific problems. The same drive toward elegant solutions, expressed in physical materials with real constraints.
See what I make →Photography
Wildlife and nature are my primary subjects. I photograph from a place of genuine wonder about the inner lives of other creatures — the same curiosity that drives the software work.
