I build practical, auditable systems focused on:
- Legal transparency
- Public data accessibility
- Local-first analysis
- Operational clarity
My work centers on civil infrastructure, legal retrieval, and structured data pipelines.
Independent by design. Collaborative by default.
Making statutes, records, and regulatory material queryable and inspectable.
Structured analysis using lightweight, reproducible tooling.
Small, focused tools that reduce friction in civic and analytical workflows.
