About
"Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, and do so with all your heart." — Marcus Aurelius
I'm a developer based in San Diego. CS degree from San Diego State (2020), then a pivot to hospital food service at Scripps Mercy during COVID. I ran the overnight cafeteria solo, cooking for 50+ staff at a full inner-city hospital. The more care I put into it, the more people showed up. The night shift left a wall of thank-you notes, and the work earned Scripps Health's 2025 Values in Action Award. Wait times and volume became a real problem I could actually solve.
Through 2025 I built CafeNightClub, a food ordering system for 80+ hospital staff, and ran it in production into early 2026. Staff could order from their floor and pick up when it was ready, no more waiting around. Since then I've been building for other people's floors too. Most recently that's Build Sheet Studio for Solid Woodworx, which turns a Shopify order into the printable build sheet a CNC shop actually works from. Claude Code made the whole process faster.
I want to build for healthcare, infrastructure, and the systems that hold communities together. Sympatheia: the idea that we're all connected and responsible for one another. That's what drives the work. This portfolio and the projects in it are where that starts.
