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.

Product engineer · Atlanta
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 MP3 and FLAC collection over FM to a cheap hackable radio on my desk and around the house, and it streams on the internet too, so anyone can tune in. 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.
