Tech & Digital Practice

Working software I direct, test, and ship using AI tools: deployed tools for the field, not prototypes.

I build real applications by directing AI tools, making the design and product calls, testing, debugging, and deploying. The result is a growing set of working tools that serve displaced and unhoused communities and the people who advocate alongside them.

This site: portfolio & interactive ecomap

A React single-page app I directed and shipped end-to-end: the interactive ecomap that argues the through-line of my work, deployed live.

Designed the interactive "one orientation, seven practices" ecomap
Built, tested, and deployed live to Cloudflare Pages

Automation Agent
ShelterApp: national resource database & audit agent

A local automation program I built that scans public data, adds missing resources, and audits existing listings across a national homeless-services directory, sharply increasing how many services the team can add and verify.

Dramatically increased the team’s capacity to add and verify services
Add + audit across 30,000+ national listings, and growing, with duplicate-safety
Fuzzy entity-matching + geocoding over open data (HRSA, OpenStreetMap)
Designed the platform’s early empathetic chatbot (2019), with empathy built into the response logic, not just the wording

Interactive Simulation
Base44
End Homelessness

A policy-simulation game: players run a city’s housing levers (development permits, budgets, ordinances) and watch the human consequences unfold. The choice it poses: prioritize profit, or dismantle the barriers to housing.

Policy Modeling Tool
Kent WA Harm Reduction Ban Simulation

A policy-impact model projecting the public-health, economic, and population effects of a hypothetical 24-month harm-reduction services ban in Kent, WA. Users adjust parameters (naloxone access, treatment expansion, and more) to see effects on overdose deaths, new HIV/HCV cases, and community costs.

Built on King County baseline data + peer-reviewed harm-reduction literature
Models outcomes for both the drug-using population and broader community (EMS, child welfare, workforce)
