Software built fast.Judgment from someone who runs IT for a living.

I build websites, apps, and internal tools. By day I help run technology for a 300-person healthcare nonprofit, so the advice comes from an operator, not a slide deck.

By day I am the Assistant IT Director for a 300-person healthcare nonprofit in Maryland. I lead a five-person team, run HIPAA-grade infrastructure, and handle the vendors, budgets, and outages that come with it. That is the judgment you hire when you hire me.

How I work

Four things you can hold me to.

  1. Most projects ship in weeks.

    I use the same AI-assisted tooling large software teams use, and I still test everything before it goes out.

  2. No surprises on price.

    Fixed-scope projects get one written number before work begins. Hourly and ongoing work gets a clear rate up front.

  3. Nothing is held hostage.

    Most clients have me host and manage everything so they never have to think about it. If you would rather hold the accounts yourself, I set it up that way. Either way, your site and your data are yours to take at any time.

  4. Accessible by default.

    Everything ships to WCAG standards. Better for users, better for search, and increasingly expected by law.
