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.
