CDC COVID-19 Data Tracker Public health
Lead front-end on the maps and charts behind a top 10 CDC.gov page, with over 71 million views in two years.

I build software products from start to finish.
I've spent over 15 years building software for agencies, my own clients, and brands like Nike, Mattel, IHG and Coca-Cola, usually turning rough requirements into what they actually wanted, and fast.
At the CDC I led the development team on the COVID-19 data tracker, historically one of CDC.gov's most visited pages, and now own the full stack of a public health data product.
I care about the parts that are easy to skip, like accessibility, and about getting the big decisions right early.
Whether I write code by hand or with AI assistance, it goes through the same checks: a written plan, continuous tests, code review, and a person who understands every line. The results are human and intentional.

For fun Weekend projects
system64 radio is my own personal radio station. A Raspberry Pi Zero broadcasts my music collection over FM to a cheap hackable radio on my desk and around my house, and streams on the internet as well. It even has its own phone number: text it a song and it plays right away. While you're there, don't forget to play TetriNET, my clone of the old multiplayer Tetris.

modembin.wav
Like pastebin, but it screams at you in modem. Type something and it plays back as real modem audio. Hold another device up to the speaker and it decodes back to text.
