// about

Thirteen years in operations, retail management, social promotions, and client relations. Self-taught in software. Based in Philadelphia, PA.

My goal is to build things that are genuinely useful — tools that make complex systems easier to understand and act on. Whether that's tracking a portfolio, analyzing an investment, or knowing where you stand online, the aim is always the same: make it clearer and make it work. The projects here reflect that.
