About Me

I have a solid grasp of industry-standard tools and enjoy experimenting with up-and-coming technologies, but also have a deep appreciation for the web platform and contributing to a hand-made, accessible, and inclusive web.

I'm a versatile learner with a background in mathematics and an experience developer who's worked across the whole stack. Some of my current interests include data visualizations with an eye for a11y, API development with an eye for optimization, and contributions to open- and crowd-sourced community projects.

Past Projects

VoteVote

urlsrc

An educational toy for voting theory nerds to simulate a single election across dozens of different voting methods including Ranked Choice, Approval, Borda Count, Copeland, FPTP, Condorcet, and many more you've probably never heard of! Built with Typescript, React, D3, and styled-components.

bookbook

urlsrc

Democratic decision making for book clubs. bookbook (always lowercased) utilizes ranked choice voting to allow members to rank their preferences for their next read. The app is dedicated to a minimalist setup design philosophy (inspired by when2meet) and requires no emails. Just make a "ballot" and an admin code and share the url with your friends!

A1 Elderly Care

urlsrc

A hand-made website I made for a friend. An exercise in 'use the platform' — it is less than 512kb in total and almost completely HTML/CSS while following SEO and a11y best practices.

Tools

Like most of my fellow primates, I can use tools! Some of my specialties include TypeScript, React, and D3 for building front-ends and Ruby on Rails and Express.js for back-end frameworks. I usually reach for PostgreSQL as my database of choice, but have also been seen hanging out with everyone from popular kids like MongoDB and Redis to the rebelious local-first subculture.
