I'm a software engineer passionate about creating technology that has a positive social impact. I specialize in building web applications with Python and JavaScript frameworks, and I have particular expertise in CMS development using Wagtail and Django. My work spans data-driven applications to open-source community projects that empower people and organizations.
"I work for the community by building open-source software projects, producing Creative Commons music, and sharing my knowledge."
