Summary

Software developer with a focus on local-first applications, data integrity, and privacy-respecting design. Background spans Rust, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and SQL. Fifteen years of healthcare experience inform a systems-thinking approach to architecture — clear separation of concerns, careful data handling, and a commitment to building software that behaves correctly under scrutiny.

Experience

Work History

Independent Software Developer
January 2024 — Present
Self-directed projects

Designing and developing local-first applications focused on data integrity, privacy, and spatial UI systems. Each project is built from scratch with a specific architectural opinion. Selected projects include:

  • Harbor — Forensic data integrity platform (Rust, Tauri, Python, SQLite, React). Cryptographic hashing, immutable evidence ledger, separation of evidence and interpretation layers.
  • Vera — Local-first spatial UI framework (Rust, Tauri, React, TypeScript, SQLite). Modular architecture spanning spatial-core, editor, motion, and storage subsystems.
  • Liberator — Privacy-first data translation tool (React, browser APIs, cryptographic verification). Runtime enforcement of network and storage isolation; zero data retention.
  • Free Spirited — Homestead management platform (PHP, MySQL, React, JavaScript). Knowledge graph linking herbs, recipes, and products; spatial CMS with live editing.
