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.
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.
DSHS Field Guide, Texas TCOLE, NACCHO Roots, The Right Time, Arkansas Birth Control
Large-scale Drupal and WordPress sites for public health agencies. Lots of content modeling, accessibility audits, and keeping things running for years.
Smithsonian Craft Show, Berkeley County, NC250, Patriots Point, Liberty Trail
Touchscreen kiosks in museums and visitor centers. Usually involves maps, timelines, and making complicated history easy to browse.
Geary, Charleen, Humphrey, EarlyWorks, DoSeum Children's Museum
Voice-driven characters for museums. Kids ask questions, the character responds. Designed to survive sticky hands and endless "why?" loops.
Web Engineer focused on interactive maps, museum installations, and AI driven kiosk systems. This is my primary role.
Web Engineer contributing to secure government platforms. Work includes state health systems, accessibility compliance, and enterprise CMS upgrades.
Web Engineer supporting health and wellness product platforms with accessible, mobile friendly experiences.
Web Engineer responsible for improving a retail and e-commerce platform.
Principal Web Engineer operating my own small creative and technical practice for occasional freelance projects.
Acquia
AI systems, web architecture, and interactive development. Presented through working demos, writing, and applied projects, separate from my employer work.
Sound engineering and business degrees (2018), plus five years managing teams at Guitar Center before transitioning to full-time development. That retail experience still shapes how I think about user experience.
I've worked across sectors including health tech (Giddy), retail (Beef Jerky Experience), museums (Interactive Knowledge), government (Brightleaf Group), and web agencies (Monarch Digital).
