My focus is on creating technology that reduces friction in legal workflows, enabling legal professionals to focus on higher-level work while empowering the public to better understand and engage with the law.

All projects prioritize accessibility and follow open-source principles, building the right tools the right way—creating what ought to exist in the world.

Recent Projects


🎉 netlify-subdomain - My First NPM Package!

CLI tool that makes managing Netlify subdomains as simple as typing a command. No more clicking through the web UI!

npm version npm downloads Source Code License: MIT

npm install -g netlify-subdomain
netlify-subdomain add blog  # Creates blog.yourdomain.com instantly!

Why I built this:
Needed to create subdomains frequently for various projects. The Netlify web UI requires multiple clicks and page loads. This tool reduces that to a single command.
