Resilience Is a Systems Problem
Why grit isn't enough
I write about technology, community, and how the systems we build shape the people who live inside them.
I'm a software engineer, writer, and former music teacher living in Seattle. Over the past decade I've built web platforms, design systems, developer tools, and AI products. These days I'm increasingly interested in what happens after we build them: how institutions shape people, how communities endure, and what makes systems resilient.
Essays about technology, work, care, community, and the systems that shape ordinary life.
Why grit isn't enough
Some of these projects involve software. Some involve fabric, yarn, or a staple gun. All of them reflect things I care about: thoughtful design, careful execution, and making things that last.
I'm open to freelance projects, fractional technical leadership, writing, speaking, and thoughtful conversations about what you're building.
