About Me
Software engineer at Monogram, living on the road in the western US.
Background
I'm a software engineer at Monogram, an agency that builds custom software for clients. Day to day that means web and mobile apps: working out what a client actually needs, designing the interface, and building something that holds up once real people are using it.
I care as much about how a thing feels to use as how it's put together. A lot of that comes from also building physical things, where you can't hide a bad decision behind a screen. It either works or it doesn't, and that habit carries back into the software.
Life on the Road
I live in a tiny house I built on a trailer and move around the western US with it. Building it taught me more about wiring, water, and tradeoffs than any tutorial could, and it's why so many of my projects end up half software and half hardware: the off-grid electrical system, a custom keyboard, an old motorcycle and an older trailer.
Being on the road keeps me near the places I care about. I spent time with the Arizona Conservation Corps doing trail and habitat work, and that shaped how I think about building things to last rather than just ship.
