He began establishing his professional presence around 2017, steadily building a reputation across a wide range of titles over the following decade. His most sustained contributions have been to DC's Batman family of books, with extended runs on *Detective Comics* and *Catwoman* demonstrating his comfort with morally complex characters navigating Gotham's shadows.
