Modern web & AI for mission-driven orgs
I help nonprofits, social impact teams, and early-stage founders build the tools they need to scale their impact—from web apps and internal portals to AI automation and tech strategy.
Who I work with
Nonprofits
Mission-driven organizations that need modern tech without the enterprise price tag.
Social impact teams
"Tech for good" initiatives building tools that create real change in communities.
Early-stage founders
Small teams who need a strong technical partner, not just a coder—someone who thinks strategically.
What I can help you build
You don't need a full-time team; you need the right expert for the right stage.
Web Apps & Platforms
Modern React/Next.js applications that your team and users actually enjoy using.
Internal Tools & Portals
Streamline operations with custom dashboards, admin panels, and staff-facing tools.
AI & Automation
Save hours per week by automating repetitive tasks and integrating AI where it makes sense.
API Integrations
Connect your tools so data flows where it needs to go, automatically.
Fractional CTO
Strategic tech leadership without the full-time cost. I help you make the right decisions at the right time.
Tech Strategy
Roadmaps, architecture reviews, and guidance on when to build vs. buy vs. partner.

I'm a senior full-stack engineer who's spent years building tools for organizations like Human Rights First and FreeWorld. I understand the unique constraints nonprofits face—limited budgets, small teams, and the need to move quickly without breaking things.
I've been recognized as an Okta Tech for Good Fellow and spoke at SXSW about how tech solutions can break cycles of incarceration. But more importantly, I focus on practical, collaborative partnerships that ship useful software.
What it's like to work together
- •Clear communication and regular check-ins, not radio silence
- •Transparent about trade-offs and realistic timelines
- •Pragmatic decisions that balance speed, cost, and quality
- •Focus on outcomes that matter to your mission, not just tech for tech's sake
