I like figuring things out
and making something
with what I learn.

I've built a birthday game for my son and a planning tool that grew out of a whiteboard exercise with my wife. My brother and I also put together a book from our grandfather's writing, turning a box of pages into something the family could keep. I like projects that give me a reason to learn something and someone to make it for. The interesting part is figuring out what matters, trying things, and seeing what happens when someone else uses the result.

My professional background is in food and operations, from restaurant kitchens and large-scale production to food-as-medicine programs. I've worked across program design, partner networks, referral systems, clinical workflows, and the technology that connects them. The parts I enjoy most are shaping a program, making a complicated process easier to use, and helping people do good work. I like understanding how something works in practice, hearing from the people using it, and figuring out what to improve.

I play guitar and write music, cook for family and friends, and enjoy projects that involve both my hands and my brain. Building something with my son is a pretty good way to spend an afternoon. At home, it's my wife, our son, and a 13-pound cockapoo who is absolutely certain she's a German Shepherd.
