I am a full-stack web developer, I am currently working with indigenous community-driven dictionaries and language resources. In these projects, I have had the pleasure of being the technical lead in building a digital infrastructure for data collection, processing and multiformat dissemination (i.e. print, web, and mobile app). I am passionate about getting to know my end users and their experiences. This drives my desire to create low cost tools and processes which multiple effort while reducing complexity.
