About Me
I’m a full stack software developer, creative technologist, and former bakery founder with a passion for building systems that nourish — whether that’s code, community, or culture. With a background spanning enterprise software, small business ownership, and food innovation, I bring detail-oriented execution and values-driven vision to every project. I believe tech should serve people and the planet, and I’m here to make it smarter, kinder, and a little more rock & roll.
Full Stack Developer
I've spent over a decade developing clean, efficient, and user-centered applications — from enterprise-level .NET systems to small business tools built with Python, JavaScript, and SQL. My approach is thoughtful and precise: build systems that work beautifully under the hood and intuitively at the surface.
Whether it's architecting a custom API, optimizing database performance, or refactoring legacy code to make it sing, I love finding elegant solutions to complex problems. I'm passionate about sustainable tech — software that's maintainable, human-friendly, and crafted with care.
Food Entrepreneur
As founder of DWP Bakery and Heka Saucery, I created from-scratch, plant-based offerings that honored flavor, ethics, and artistry in equal measure. I ran every aspect of the businesses: product development, branding, ecommerce, operations, and customer engagement — all from a place of integrity.
My work was fueled by a love of food and justice: baking as activism, flavor as education, and systems that supported the local economy. Everything I made was designed to feel nourishing — to the body, to the planet, and to the people who experienced it.
Recipe Developer
I don't just create recipes — I craft experiences. I approach food as both a science and an art, balancing nutrients, textures, and visual appeal to turn everyday ingredients into something unforgettable. My kitchen is part lab, part altar, and always plant-powered.
Whether I'm developing recipes for a client, a cookbook, or a meal plan, my goal is the same: create food that celebrates plants, invites connection, and supports wellness without sacrificing flavor or soul.
Photographer
My photography practice was born from metal shows, but it quickly expanded to storytelling in all forms: capturing emotion in a cake's swirl, the tension in a shadow, or the wild joy in a perfectly timed portrait. I shoot like I bake and code — with intention, intuition, and a love of detail.
I've photographed for brands, bakeries, restaurants, and artists — always aiming to reveal beauty, truth, and texture in a single frame. Whether I'm styling a vegan dish or snapping a moody set for a music shoot, I bring a sense of grounded creativity to the lens.
