Human-centered engineer. A decade of building digital products that work for real people.
Engineering with
intention.
I'm a Team Lead and Senior Software Engineer based in Brooklyn, NY, with over a decade of experience building digital solutions for federal government, healthcare, higher education, and nonprofit organizations.
My practice sits at the intersection of rigorous engineering and genuine human empathy — I believe the best code is invisible, and the best interfaces feel obvious. I specialize in Drupal enterprise platforms, front-end accessibility, and the kind of cross-functional leadership that actually moves projects forward.
I hold a Public Trust Clearance and a Scrum Master Certification, and I bring the same care to a sprint retrospective as I do to a complex accessibility audit.
