Mission-Driven Work
A common thread across my career has been building technology for organizations working toward justice and equity. Before writing code professionally, I was organizing — work that shaped how I think about the relationship between tools and power. From the digital infrastructure behind Standing Rock solidarity campaigns to platforms for NDN Collective and the Fight for $15, I have spent years ensuring that advocacy organizations have access to the same caliber of tools as any well-funded startup. At Other98, that meant rapid-response publishing systems reaching millions. At Tiny Pixel Collective, it meant open source tooling and consulting for dozens of nonprofits and grassroots networks — including building digital infrastructure for the Twin Cities Tenants Union.
