Creative technologist, end to end.
I’m Patrik CK, a creative technologist based in Atlanta. For two decades I’ve led teams and built the systems under them: servers and websites, video and photography, 3D and the analytics that prove it worked. I go hands-on across every layer, I read every line before it ships, and I treat AI as a power tool, not a shortcut.
Skills & software
The stacks I reach for every week, from the server all the way up to the render.
WordPress & Web
Google Web Tools
Hosting & Servers
Adobe Creative Cloud
Microsoft Office
3D & CAD
AI & emerging tech
I stay on the front edge of AI and put it to work across web, marketing, and production. The rule never changes: AI speeds up the work and sharpens the graphics, it never fakes a result or makes the call that matters. That is on me.
Where I’ve put in the work
Two lanes that ended up in the same place: years of leading teams and operations, then years of building the technology that runs them.

Santa’s Toy Run
A cause I’ve given my time to every year since 2013.
Volunteer Administrator
I’ve been a volunteer administrator with Santa’s Toy Run since 2013, an event that brings the motorsport community together for a toy drive and fundraiser that makes the holidays brighter for foster children and families in need. Over the years I’ve helped with everything from digital support and promotional content to event-day coordination and the behind-the-scenes logistics.
I like putting my creative and technical skills to work strengthening the event: modernizing the materials, improving communication, and keeping things running so the mission stays front and center. What keeps me coming back is the real impact, helping deliver joy to families right here in our community. It’s something I’m proud to be part of, and I plan to keep the tradition going.
