hi! 👋

Lately, I’ve been building data science and developer tools, learning about IDEs and judging grant proposals. I’m very curious about organizational systems, structure and process. I prefer to build open source software and support open knowledge sharing.

Previously, I’ve worked on an open source Java runtime [openj9 logo], code security analysis tools [reshift security logo], a vulnerability management system ['Portal'], and interactive tooling for learning about Web Monetization [akitaproject.site logo].

I like to be involved in every step of the creative process: ideation ↔ design ↔ implementation ↔ documentation ↔ testing ↔ release ↔ support ↔ community. I’m happiest when building with collaborators and directly engaging with who I’m building for.

Sometimes I do speaking engagements, career coaching and freelance work. Otherwise, I’m probably bouldering at a climbing gym 🧗🏻‍♀️, biking on a pathway 🚴🏻‍♀️ or learning a new hobby 🥁.


my previous work

I was part of the Virtual Machine subteam of OpenJ9. My main contributions can be found here. I worked on extending JDK functionality, implementing startup performance enhancements, and unifying the CMake build configuration to support both compressed references and large heap in a single package.

Reshift Security Static Analysis Tool reshift security logo

I worked on prototyping new functionality around vulnerability remediation, as well as the Reshift VS Code IDE Extension (proprietary). I got to play around with the ANTLR parser generator, use and contribute to a Datalog variant for static analysis called Soufflé, and learn how to package and publish a VS Code Extension.

Unfortunately, the startup has since shut down, so the publicly remaining artifacts of this work are the NPM listing, Product Hunt page and the GitHub org.

Software Secured Vulnerability Management Portal

I co-architected the full-stack app, led development and deployment, and managed a small development team. This is a closed-source application with minimal publicly available information.

The main features I implemented were automated email notifications for upcoming penetration test tasks, a dashboard which organizes the client's software vulnerabilities, role-based access control and automated communications between the client and our penetration testing team.

Coded, designed, wrote, spoke and illustrated for The Akita Project, a Grant for the Web funded project that teaches Web Monetization concepts through storytelling, easy-to-use tools and community outreach. This project was co-created with Elliot.
