About
I'm a software engineer in Brooklyn.
I came into this as tech lead for a campaign. The first thing I built was a matching funds tracker, because the team was running it out of a spreadsheet that broke every time someone new onboarded. Other campaigns asked. Then I started building for theater too, since I'd been stage managing in indie theater and the same pattern kept showing up: a few people holding everything together with paper, group chats, and one heroic spreadsheet.
Most of what's on this site came from a specific person hitting a specific wall. A campaign manager describing how she papers over a broken workflow with volunteer hours. A stage manager re-printing the cue sheet for the third time that week. I build for problems I'm watching people hit, not ones I'm imagining from a brief.
Right now I'm canvassing weekends for Eon Huntley in Bed-Stuy. I'm also in a show going up at La MaMa.
Send me a note.
If your campaign or production has something broken or close to breaking, I'd like to hear about it.
