Senior Software Engineer • Builder of tools, apps, and weirdly specific automations
Indianapolis, IN · dreamstarterstudio.com

AAC iPad app for my daughter Milla – photo-based communication with text-to-speech, built with Flutter.

• Focused on accessibility and real-world usability, not just demos
• Designed to be family-friendly, customizable, and extendable
• Lives here: 👉 stardust-aac

• ColdFusion / CFML
• JavaScript / TypeScript
• Dart (Flutter)
• SQL (SQL Server, PostgreSQL)
• HTML / CSS

• Docker & containerized dev environments
• VS Code & CommandBox
• REST APIs & JSON-based integrations
• GitHub Actions / CI workflows
• AI-assisted dev (OpenAI, automation scripts, etc.)

• Readable, boring code that future-me and teammates don’t hate
• Clear standards for naming, structure, and reviews (yes, I open issues about docs 😄)
• Automation over repetition – if I do it twice, I’m probably scripting it
• Accessibility & real users – especially for assistive/communication software
• Psychologically safe teams where questions and curiosity are normal

• Internal tools that remove friction for teams
• Communication and accessibility apps (like Stardust AAC)
• Small utilities that glue services together
• Developer experience improvements (scripts, docs, templates)

If you’re the kind of person who gets unreasonably happy about a well-documented repo and a clean docker-compose file, we’d probably get along.

• Parent, gamer, and perpetual tinkerer
• Big fan of using tech to make real life easier for neurodivergent brains and families
• Very willing to refactor code I wrote at 2 a.m. and pretend it was never that messy
