I am a Full-Stack Software Engineer focused on building clear, dependable systems that support real work and real decisions.
I currently work with The Newberry Institute, helping design and maintain digital platforms for civic education, community programs, and public-facing initiatives. Alongside this, I co-lead engineering work at Tenda Tech, delivering web and mobile systems for organizations operating under real-world constraints.
I am intentionally building toward running a consulting firm in the future. That goal shapes how I work today. I care about structure, trade-offs, documentation, and interfaces that make complex information understandable to non-technical users.
I value clean architecture, readable code, and systems that survive real users, imperfect requirements, and long timelines.

Tools I use to design, ship, and maintain production systems:
IT Connect
A job, attachment, and scholarship platform designed to reduce friction between students and institutions.
Built with Laravel for administration and Flutter for cross-platform mobile access.
Attachment Portal
A Django-based system that simplifies how institutions publish attachment and internship opportunities.
Focused on speed, clarity, and ease of use for non-technical administrators.
Tafuta App
An Android house-hunting application that translates machine-learning recommendations into understandable user feedback.
Built with performance and real-world usage in mind.
- Frontend systems that support judgment and decision-making
- Interface design for non-technical users
- Internal tools, dashboards, and operational software
- Cloud infrastructure and long-term maintainability
- Turning messy requirements into usable systems
I enjoy collaborating with engineers, designers, and organizations that value clarity, structure, and long-term impact.
