I sell it, I build it, I teach people to run it
Full-stack systems architect and founder. I create enablement systems: the product, the automation, and the training that lets people own their technology.
Three areas of expertise
Pick the side of my work you came for. Each one has its own proof, projects and code.
Technical Sales & Customer Engineering
I bridge business and engineering: find the real need, demo the solution, build it, and hand it off.

Teaching: Kuumba Code
I don't write my clients' words for them. I teach them, hands-on, to use AI in VS Code to update their own sites.
Building & Automation
Products, client sites and automations that take the mundane work off people's plates.

Newest build
My newest project, and the one that asked the most of me.
Kelly's House and Farm
A website and a full grant application, built side by side. I built the site and helped her complete her entire Braiding Seeds Fellowship application with Soul Fire Farm: video, garden map, budget and every written answer.
When teaching her to use AI wasn't the right fit, I changed my approach: I worked side by side with her and her mother, made every edit, and walked her through submitting.
Featured work
Live products and sites. Every card opens the real thing.
Rooted at Canticle Farm
I live and work at Canticle Farm in Oakland. Most of my tech work goes back into this community, usually for free.
Beyond the code
Showing up for people is the work I'm proudest of.
Feeding the unhoused
In Dallas, Texas, I hand-prepared and served 65 to 100 meals every Saturday to people experiencing homelessness. Known as "the pink chicken lady," I cooked my late grandmother's recipe, and volunteers from local colleges and churches joined me.
Disaster recovery
With the American Red Cross in California, I built the recovery team's case-management database and work with families after fires, floods, storms and earthquakes.
Community at Canticle Farm
I help whoever comes through: JUSTtouch's free chair-massage pop-up for unhoused neighbors at Driver Plaza, and a $6,000 tax exemption won for Peter Milano's property, which feeds the farm and serves a local school.

P99 CONF 2026 winner
Won the P99 CONF 2026 book bundle from ScyllaDB, six books on latency, distributed systems and database performance, including chapters of Designing Data-Intensive Applications (2nd edition). Reliable, scalable systems are what my clients and teams depend on.
