I am a systems engineer with about 4 years of professional experience as a software engineer and an academic background in software development and innovation. I can offer creative direction, consulting, design work, beans consulting and editorial services. Editorial services includes something as simple as proofreading and something as involved as developing a personalized voice profile and brand voice alignment services: proofreading or rewriting a text to align with values, message and/or mission.

I am passionate about the intersection between technology and liberal arts, and the development of well-designed products that solve real world problems.
