01
Stay curious
Ask early, learn out loud, and stay humble enough to change direction.
Builder of useful systems
Make the tedious stuff disappear.
I build automation, data tools, and civic tech for people who are tired of fighting the same problem twice. Practical software, plain language, and a bias toward things that actually help.

Small tools, public things, and experiments with a pulse.
A mix of live projects, prototypes, and the places where I keep learning in public.
IsIt2029Yet
A countdown to the next inauguration, because some numbers are easier to process when they move.
Ice Cream Caboose
A playful site for scoops, smiles, and a one-of-a-kind ice cream stop inside a real train caboose in Alto, Michigan.
MindHere
Helping therapists spend less time on paperwork and more time with the people in front of them.
Coding with Beatrise
A sharp-tongued 1880s grandmother who is somehow quite serious about debugging.
GitHub
Open source, experiments, unfinished questions, and the occasional useful thing.
About
The work starts with listening for the friction.
My path into technology started with servant leadership: supporting teams, paying attention to what slowed people down, and noticing the little broken workflows everyone had learned to tolerate.
Eventually the obvious thing became impossible to ignore: a lot of those problems could be built away. That is still the thread. Learn the system, find the repeat pain, make a tool that gives time back.
Operating principles
How I try to build, work, and show up.
02
Keep it simple
The best solution can be understood, repaired, and trusted later.
03
Solve real problems
Build for actual friction in someone's day, not imaginary complexity.
04
Show up honestly
Say what is known, name what is not, and own the follow-through.
05
Build together
The best ideas often arrive from people who see the room differently.
06
Civic duty
Technology should make participation less confusing and more reachable.
Civic desk
Good starting points for showing up.
Organizations doing important work around voting access, democracy, and participation.
