Since beginning their writing career in 2016, they have published ten books, crafting stories set in the near future - typically within the next one to two hundred years. Their works blend rigorous scientific elements with imaginative storytelling, though they occasionally explore more fantastical sci-fi themes for intrigue and adventure.

Their writing is enriched by travels to exotic locations and a deep curiosity about cosmology, quantum physics, and historical events, particularly ancient and medieval European history. Influenced by luminaries like Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke, they prioritize human-centric narratives, often incorporating genetic engineering while avoiding traditional alien tropes.
