Software Engineer & Content Creator

Content creation has been a passion of mine since childhood — I began making videos at eight years old and never stopped. Over the years that early interest evolved into a way to teach, document, and share what I learn. Some of the videos in this series are nearly a decade old and have drawn close to 100k views, including lessons where I was teaching advanced JavaScript early into my professional career. This blend of engineering expertise and video storytelling is a unique skill I bring to every team, allowing me to create custom video documentation, explain complex concepts, and make development more approachable for others.

Over the years I've collaborated with a wide range of companies — from global tech leaders to innovative startups — building products, design systems, and accessible experiences at scale. These partnerships reflect both the depth of my engineering background and the trust placed in my ability to deliver thoughtful, high-quality work across different teams and industries.

Everything is connected. The way I write code is shaped by how I move through the world. Years of building for the web have sharpened my skills as an engineer, but it's my relationship with nature, community, and the spiritual that has taught me patience, perspective, and empathy. Crafting accessible digital experiences is one extension of that. These values influence how I approach code, collaboration, and design. My aim is to create spaces that are welcoming, clear, and grounded in respect for others. The work is technical, but it is also deeply human.

Growing up through the rise of the internet meant always having something new to explore. One afternoon my mother was on the phone with technical support and they asked her to open the command prompt. Watching the black window appear with its blinking cursor was strangely fascinating.

Questions turned into instructions, and before long I had found resources to learn basic commands. Those commands became little BATCH programs, small games, and tools to automate tasks. One of them used the net commands in Windows to list computers on the network, prompt for a message, and send it to whoever you chose. I copied it to my friends' thumb drives at school and we would pass messages during class. It was fun until it got me in trouble, but by then I was hooked.

MySpace and Tumblr brought new possibilities. Customizing profiles led to learning HTML and CSS, which led to making my own web pages. Soon I was approaching local businesses and offering to build their sites. While friends worked after school jobs, I was running a small freelance business, creating and maintaining websites for local restaurants and shops, even helping them with marketing. By the time high school ended, I had a portfolio strong enough to land my first professional role. From there, one project led to another and the path carried me to the work I do today.

Each role has shaped the engineer I am today, from early freelance projects to leading accessibility efforts on large-scale platforms. Along the way I've worked across every stage of development — planning, design, implementation, and launch — gaining a deep understanding of how products are built and how teams succeed. This section highlights the projects, skills, and lessons that continue to guide my approach to software and collaboration.

My partner began running a music therapy business and working with disabled people in 2018. Watching her connect through music and help people find their own voice opened my heart and shifted the way I saw the world. It revealed how often spaces are created without considering everyone who might step into them.

In 2020 I began learning about critical race theory and the systemic hurdles marginalized communities face. The more I learned, the more I saw privileges in my own life that I had once taken for granted. It made me question the systems I had assumed were neutral and showed me how uneven the ground can be for people from different backgrounds.

These experiences changed the way I see my work. Accessibility is not a checklist or a box to be ticked. It is a way of meeting people where they are, building spaces that respect their presence, and removing obstacles that never should have been there in the first place. It is a commitment to creating something that allows more people to participate fully, with dignity and without compromise.
