Infrastructure for intellectual labor. A spatial thinking environment that helps people understand, develop, and preserve complex ideas over time by organizing them through relationships, not folders or documents. Built local-first to ensure intellectual sovereignty.
A comprehensive talent operations platform built to eliminate the coordination chaos small organizations face managing hiring pipelines, onboarding workflows, and payroll preparation. Transforms scattered spreadsheets and email threads into a unified system with role-based access control, automated workflows, and real-time analytics.
The digital home for Liberatory Intelligence Laboratories, Co. A full-stack platform combining an immersive marketing experience with an AI-powered client intake and scoping system that replaces back-and-forth discovery calls with a structured, self-service pipeline from first contact to project estimate.
Post-Imperial Systems Intervention & Design (PSID), is an emerging discipline for the design, intervention, governance, and stewardship of socio-technical systems after and against imperial domination, operationalized through Applied LIberatory Intelligence, centering Liberatory Recontruction as an approach to systems intervention.
Design & Strategy
Case Studies
Work Experience
Nearly two decades in, my path from advertising design to product strategy to hands-on engineering taught me that influence without ownership has limits. Today I design and build AI-native products end-to-end, spatial thinking tools with local-first RAG, talent operations platforms, full-stack systems with payment automation and AI-powered engagement, owning everything from data modeling and API integration to interface systems and motion design. My design background shapes how I architect: I optimize for legibility, trust, and long-term reasoning over short-term speed. I'm looking for roles where design craft, systems thinking, and engineering rigor converge to build things that preserve human agency at scale.
Each role includes queryable AI context—the real story behind the bullet points.
Design Engineer
FREELANCE / Feb 2023 — PresentCurrent
Design and build AI-native digital products end-to-end for founders and small teams, owning interface systems, application architecture, and integration logic.
- →Defining end-to-end product and system structures, including interface boundaries, systems architecture, and documentation standards to enable maintainable, AI-assisted development.
- →Engineering full-stack application systems across interface, application logic, and integration layers using modern JavaScript-based frameworks, balancing rapid iteration with long-term resilience
- →Building AI agent workflows synthesizing multi-structured data domains into a server-side prompt context, resulting in instant, updatable recruiter Q&A without manual content rewrites.
- →Designing governance-first agent runtime with proposal-based edits, context budgets, and audit logging, ensuring all AI-driven changes required explicit human approval and were fully reversible.
- →Implementing a context-aware RAG systems with document chunking, vector embeddings, and semantic retrieval, enabling AI assistance grounded in the user's own knowledge base.
