Media systems & nonprofit communications
Working in nonprofit media and communications while building practical systems for content, workflows, and operations.

About
I build practical tools that reduce friction, clarify messy workflows, and hold up when nobody’s watching.
My work sits at the intersection of full-stack development, media systems, automation, and small product experiments. I’ve built dashboards, reporting tools, mobile workflows, APIs, internal systems, and public-facing web projects across nonprofit, freelance, and product contexts.
I care about honest systems, plain communication, tight feedback loops, and work that becomes more useful over time.

Plain communication
Say the real thing clearly, even when there are tradeoffs.

Small improvements
Better systems are usually built one fix at a time.
