Building thoughtful systems end to end

SOFTWARE ENGINEER · PRODUCT BUILDER · MAKER

I build useful software — and the systems around it.

I design web applications, mobile experiences, cloud architecture, and connected hardware. My favorite projects live where software meets the real world.

Projects with real constraints.

Not just screenshots and stack logos. Each project captures the problem, engineering decisions, and what I learned while building it.

About

I like projects that escape the browser.

I’m a software engineer who enjoys taking ideas from vague problem statements to working products. That might mean designing a cloud-backed application, troubleshooting a network boundary, building an iOS collaboration flow, or fabricating an enclosure for a Raspberry Pi prototype.

I’m especially interested in tools that help people do complicated work more confidently. A lot of my side projects come from serving production teams in nonprofit and church environments, where reliability matters and interfaces need to work for both experts and volunteers.

I work comfortably across application code, data, infrastructure, networking, and hardware prototypes.
