Bend, Oregon. Overnight shift at a homeless shelter.

My curiosity drives me to explore software, networking, and systems and turn what I learn into projects of my own. Building things helps me see what I can change and how I might get started.
Working overnight at a shelter in Bend gives me time to think and a firsthand view of what staff and guests need. What I see on shift shapes the tools I imagine building to make it easier for staff to support guests. I completed peer support training through Central Oregon Community College in February 2026, and I serve on the Oregon Health Authority’s Open Card Lived Experience Advisory Panel.
Outside work, I attend city council and county commissioner meetings and write proposals on how local agencies can reach people before they lose their housing. I’m especially interested in what gets in the way of asking for or receiving help, and what local agencies can do to make that help easier to find and use.

A web app that turns scripted terminal log lines into animated video clips for social media.
Built with AI coding tools in TypeScript and React, with a Supabase (PostgreSQL) backend.
September 2026, clickable prototype
A phone prototype for voluntary interviews with shelter participants about their experiences with the justice system and its effects on their children.
The prototype runs on sample data only.
In development
A public map of where drones and surveillance cameras operate, so the community can see what is watching it.
Central Oregon pilot program proposal
Taxpayers fund the harm, then pay again to fix it. This proposal lays out a civilian-led pilot that starts with incarcerated people who have no outside support, documents what happens to them, and measures what earlier intervention costs and saves.
