Code, writing, and art — all made with the same intention, the same eye, the same standard.
AI-assisted build
Personal project · 2025
A complete redesign built in collaboration with an AI — from the design system up. Vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. No framework, no build step. The process turned out to be something more interesting than I expected.
Side project · 2026
A task and project management app for individuals and freelancers — re-built with Angular v19 and Firebase because I wanted to focus entirely on the front end. Built for myself, because I have ADHD. Currently in private beta testing, but sign up if you want to try it out.
Journalism · 2010–2014
From intern reporter to managing editor — six years covering juvenile justice and child welfare nationally. Where writing and building first converged for me.
Client project · 2026
Portfolio site for a senior instructional designer and ATD Master Trainer. Features a CSS marquee ticker for scrolling skills, fully responsive layout, and a clean typographic system built without a framework.
Side project · 2026
A real-time dashboard for tracking Philadelphia Phillies games, built with Angular and the MLB Stats API. Features live score updates and a responsive design for mobile devices.
Side project · 2016–2017
A task and project management app for individuals and freelancers — built with AngularJS and Firebase because I wanted to focus entirely on the front end. Built for myself, because I have ADHD.

The animation-timeline API lets you tie animations directly to scroll position — no JavaScript required. Here's how I used it on this site, and when it makes sense to reach for it.
An inverted pyramid. A story that earns every word. A reader who won't wait. Turns out the principles of good journalism map surprisingly well to the principles of good software.

Senior front-end engineer by day. Author and visual artist by night. Journalist by training.
I've spent a decade building front-end applications at companies like IBM, ADP, Vanguard, and NBCUniversal. Before that, I spent years writing, reporting on juvenile justice, editing and managing a newsroom, publishing fiction, and creating visual art and comics journalism. The two careers look different. The craft is the same.
