02About

I'm based in Phoenix, working on software that helps people make decisions about real equipment. An operator needs to understand what a model recommends, why, and what to do next. A maintenance team needs to trace an alert back to its cause. Those are the kinds of problems I like to work through.

I lead design engineering for Prototype Studio, where designers build frontends directly in code. I designed, coded, and launched the tool and established a shared GitHub repository, branching and pull-request workflows, and Skills so design and engineering can work from the same frontend code. Before Freeport-McMoRan, I grew from Tribal Credit's first product-design hire into Director of Product Design, leading 10 designers while staying hands-on with product and design-system work.

06How it is built

The portfolio is part of the evidence.

Typed content drives the portfolio, printable resume, metadata, and machine-readable routes. The Lab brings its theme, localization, and interface tests into one live viewer.

Open the lab

  1. 01

    One content source

    Typed modules feed the home page, case studies, resume, metadata, and machine-readable versions without duplicate claims.

  2. 02

    Localization as a test system

    Generated pseudo-copy stress-tests string expansion, ICU placeholders, and logical LTR and RTL layout without presenting machine-made translations as audience-facing languages.

  3. 03

    One system, several readers

    The same material renders as web pages, a printable resume, llms.txt, llms-full.txt, and a complete sitemap.

  4. 04

    A repeatable delivery gate

    Type checks, lint, automated tests, and a production build run on every pull request and main-branch push.
