About Me

Most good ideas are one engineer away

Early on, I realized I didn't want to become exceptionally good at one thing. I wanted to become exceptionally good at learning new things. That mindset led me to software, where every project is a new kind of problem. So far, the work I've enjoyed most has been for people who know what needs to exist and can't build it themselves. A non-technical founder with a burning idea. A clinical lab with world-class expertise in speech and none in software. A nonprofit with an essential tool and a maintainer determined to keep it running. If that's your project, I'd love to hear more.
