I build software and improve systems

I work on software that has to hold up in real use.

Most of my background is in product and platform work where the code, the UX, and the business model all push on each other at the same time.

Lately I have been spending a lot of time on how AI fits into that kind of work: inside the workflow, inside the product, and inside the systems that support both.

Current projects

AI Pipeline & Tooling

Internal pipeline work for content operations and AI-assisted catalog tooling.

Built internal pipeline tooling for tagging, search indexing, and media workflows so the catalog could be processed with less manual cleanup and better operational visibility.

Past projects

OpenJournal

Founder

Built an open source citizen journalism platform that powered Paiwandgah.af, a voting suppression tracker, and Sadroz.af, an election promise tracker, during a difficult election cycle in Afghanistan.
