Before pursuing filmmaking, he spent a year as a member of the FEU Theater Guild, where he served as part of the Technical Committee as a music operator and also performed as an actor.

His experimental short film "Where the Machine Sleeps" received Best Direction and a Special Jury Mention at the FEU Film Society’s 19th General Assembly 2025: Beyond Human.
