What I do

Web applications

Forms, workflows, dashboards and integrations — the internal tools that replace a spreadsheet and an email thread.

Sites & CMS builds

Responsive marketing and content sites on Cascade CMS, WordPress, Drupal or a static stack, built so non-developers can run them.

Mobile applications

Cross-platform apps and mobile-first web, from prototype through store submission — the subject I teach.

Accessibility & performance

WCAG remediation, audits and speed work on sites that already exist and can't be rebuilt from scratch.

Selected work

About

I've been a web developer at the University of Miami since 2015 and an adjunct lecturer there since 2016, teaching web and mobile application development.

Day to day that means two things at once: shipping and maintaining production systems used by departments, staff and thousands of students — and standing in front of a classroom explaining why a decision was made that way. Both habits show up in client work. I document what I build, I hand it off cleanly, and I can explain the trade-offs to a non-technical stakeholder without hiding behind jargon.

Independently I take on freelance web and app development for clients outside the university. I hold an MFA in Interactive Media from UM.
