The short version

This is the work I’ve stayed with longest. When software handles a community’s donations and its records, the bar isn’t features — it’s trust, and it doesn’t get to go down.

Moving money

$500K+ in humanitarian aid, end to end

I built and maintain the association’s full-stack donation site and accounting platform, which has processed more than $500,000 in humanitarian aid. Every dollar has to reconcile, so the system carries both the giving experience and the books behind it.

Knowing the community

A census the organization plans around

I developed an annual census that tracks roughly 250 members and gives the board real membership data for planning and outreach. Alongside it I own the organization’s technology end to end — infrastructure, equipment purchasing, and presenting technical updates at board meetings.
