About Me

I am a full stack software engineer with over 10 years of experience in the social sector. I specialize in building software for global digital health, humanitarian health, and sexual health.

My mission is to elevate the quality of software in the social sector.

With over a decade of experience at the intersection of software engineering and social impact, I have built software for over 30 nonprofits and government institutions in over 15 countries across 5 continents. I am passionate about partnering with the social sector to build the tools they need to carry out their missions more effectively. Having worked in “Big Tech,” I have seen firsthand how the tech industry directs the world’s most talented engineers to pursue short-term rewards delivering products that can cause harm. It is my life mission to dedicate myself to building software for a more just world.

I have built early warning systems, data analysis products, and emergency response tools for disease epidemics and natural disasters. I have partnered with organizations in public health, humanitarian health, disaster relief, food security, homelessness, and anti-human trafficking. I am excited to hear about what your organization is working on and how I can support you.

My Skills

With a background in both computer science and public health, I am able to design, implement, and deploy solutions at the intersection of tech and the social sector. I work with both technical and non-technical stakeholders and bridge the gap between software teams and institutions for social change.
