What I do

  • Web development

    WordPress sites, custom themes and plugins, and web applications using PHP, Node.js, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

  • Software and integrations

    Application development, C++, and integrations between systems, including APIs and single sign-on.

  • UI and system design

    Designing interfaces and planning how the parts of an application fit together, from the website to its supporting services.

  • Planning and documentation

    Working with clients to understand their needs, plan the project, keep track of progress, and document the software.

Websites, software, and project work

Why hire me?

I love solving problems. What I'm proudest of is my persistence and my ability to find constructive paths forward in difficult situations. I'm at a point in my life where I can commit significant blocks of time to projects when needed, while also respecting the different circumstances and working rhythms of the people I collaborate with. I do my best work in client facing roles managing expectations, anticipating scope concerns early, and finding collaborative solutions that keep projects on track. Whether you need a developer, a creative thinker, or a project manager in a given moment, I'm happy to wear whichever hat the work calls for. I'm also comfortable working across time zones.
