Independent product engineer / 2024—25

Useful software, carefully made.

I design and ship quiet tools for teams working where the signal is hard to find. A selected record of products, experiments, and lessons from the field.

Selected with teams at

  • Northline
  • Fieldroom
  • Civic Lab
  • Arcminute
  • Common Thread

A small practice with a clear brief.

The best interfaces reduce the distance between a difficult task and a confident decision. I work across product direction, interaction design, and front-end craft to make that distance shorter.

  • Prototype the riskiest assumption first.
  • Ship the smallest useful surface.
  • Leave room for the next better question.

What the work changed.

Mira turned a vague operational problem into a product our coordinators could trust on the first morning.

The interface became quieter, but the team became faster. That was the rare combination we needed.
