I take messy problems and turn them into tools that feel straightforward to use.
I am a web and interactive systems engineer based in San Antonio, living with my wife Clarissa, our cat Bunny, and our dog Hazel. My professional work involves interactive systems in the museum and public-sector domains; here I share the tools and patterns I've built through personal projects.
I've spent over a decade working on interactive systems across various domains. This site showcases applied work in AI, web architecture, and creative coding, separate from my employer work.
Outside of work, I make furniture, play guitar, and cook vegetarian meals inspired by Indian cooking. I like things that take patience: joinery, fermentation, long walks with the dog.
Professional Background
My professional experience has centered around interactive systems for museums, festivals, and public institutions. This background shaped my approach to reliability, accessibility, and how technology supports real human exploration. The projects shown below are examples of past collaborative work.
CMS & Government Platforms
State public health agencies, state law enforcement agencies, national public health nonprofits, and state reproductive health programs.
Large-scale Drupal and WordPress sites for public health agencies. Lots of content modeling, accessibility audits, and keeping things running for years.
Museums & Map-Based Storytelling
National crafts organizations, county museums, state historical commissions, and battlefield preservation nonprofits.
Touchscreen kiosks in museums and visitor centers. Usually involves maps, timelines, and making complicated history easy to browse.
