I build things, then write about figuring them out.

I'm a software engineer who likes the seams: the places where systems, people, and process all have to agree. I got here the long way, with a communication degree and a studio art minor, five-plus years leading teams and untangling client relationships in real estate and marketing, then a bootcamp and a hard pivot into code. That detour isn't a footnote. It's why I build thinking about the user, the stakeholder, and the system all at once.

These days I'm at OpenRouter, onboarding new providers and pulling more of the AI ecosystem into one place developers can actually reach. On the side, I'm a founding engineer on Audition Cat, a CRM for performing artists that's three years in the making and finally in alpha. And when I'm off the clock, I help organize Colorado Women&TECH and show up for the community through speaking and writing.

This site is where the build log lives: essays, the [WIP] podcast, talks, and whatever I'm shipping. Life doesn't have release notes, so I write my own.

[WIP] and the writing are made on nights and weekends. If something here helped, a coffee keeps it going.
