CV and Project Focus

AI operations builder, creative technologist, and WordPress/web systems generalist.

Portland-based, working across AI-assisted development, self-hosted web infrastructure, content operations, automation, sustainability, and community resilience.

Professional Summary

I build practical systems where AI, web infrastructure, content workflows, and human judgment meet. My work is strongest in messy real-world environments: WordPress sites that need recovery or cleanup, local web servers that need documentation and maintenance, content systems that need structure, and AI workflows that need to become useful instead of theoretical.

Target Roles

  • AI operations builder or AI workflow consultant.
  • WordPress, web systems, and content infrastructure specialist.
  • Creative technologist for web, automation, and digital services.
  • Technical operations support for small teams, founders, and local organizations.

Core Competencies

Useful across technical, creative, and operational work.

Web

Ops

People

Selected Experience Themes

The through-line is practical systems: tools that people can understand, operate, repair, and improve.
