I got my start as a journalist fighting for the little guy. I carry that same ethos into my life as a developer.

I'm a vibe coder, don't hate. I intuitively bend software to my will. I don't follow rigid structures. I thrive on wrangling LLMs to get elegant results. I love untangling gnarly problems and turning them into manageable tasks.

I build seamless tools to scratch an itch that off-the-shelf software can’t reach. I made a native, cross-platform Gemini agent that weaves right into the OS. You can prompt it directly from Spotlight on a Mac. My passion for digital defense also inspired caution-engine, my own cybersecurity app. Now, I'm building a story organizer for journalists. It’s designed to fix workflow gaps I know all too well.

When I’m not coding, I’m geeking out on cloud infrastructure or automating my home with a tiny server. To keep my digital world sane, all my computers are managed with NixOS. You can also find me chasing the perfect photograph, spending time with my family, or hanging out with my cat, Atlas.

Donations are appreciated (not expected) because my day job is stressful and it leaves a less-than-ideal amount of time and energy for other pursuits. I am extremely motivated to leverage my newfound abilities with software development to make a living.

I'm looking for a remote programming gig. I want to build clever, bespoke tools and dive into fascinating challenges

Peace!
