Summary

Finance Leader with expertise in strategic planning, team development and complex financial modeling. I lead budgets and rolling forecasts and turn the numbers into insights that drive decisions.

I also leverage technical skills and have a strong foundation in how the pieces connect across a range of technologies, from data pipelines and LLM tools to blockchain and smart contracts, putting them together from ideation to deployment to deliver creative solutions.

Featured Projects

• Balance Sheet Integrity ( GitHub) - A lightweight account reconciliation and financial close platform featuring data imports, multi-entity balance sheet management, backup attachment storage, and user permission hierarchies to ensure financial data integrity. A sequential three-stage approval workflow with immutable audit trails records who signed off on what, permanently — so no account can be certified twice or signed off out of order.
• Hot Potato (Stacks Blockchain) - A decentralized application (dApp) built on the Stacks blockchain. Gamifies token incentives through smart contracts, allowing users to earn STX profit by holding a digital asset until it is claimed by the next participant at an automatically incremented value. Settlement is enforced by the contract itself, so no middleman ever holds the money. The contract persists only current ownership, so the client reconstructs the full custody chain — every holder, what they paid and how long they held it — from on-chain transaction history.
• EV Data Guys - An automated aggregation platform for electric vehicle specifications. A scheduled ingestion job harvests certified figures from government test cycles and manufacturer filings into a single comparison schema, and every metric keeps the test standard it came from, so an optimistic WLTP or CLTC range is never ranked against a stricter EPA one. It powers six daily-refreshed rankings, US quarterly sales tracking and a NACS charging-compatibility guide.
• Data Sort Pro - A suite of four analytics tools that normalize authoritative government datasets into single answerable questions. Each pipeline ingests one official source and applies size- and locality-based normalization, so a corner shop is never benchmarked against a supermarket. Every figure retains provenance back to the agency that published it. 2.4 million records under management.
  • Congress Positions — Scores all 555 sitting members against DW-NOMINATE roll-call data — how they actually voted, not what they say — benchmarking each against their caucus, state delegation and full chamber, and exposing ideological drift across a career.
  • Iowa Liquor Ledger — Iowa is a control state, so every bottle a retailer buys passes through a public ledger. Converts 1.08 million store-item records into per-store performance analytics, benchmarking revenue, volume and pricing against ZIP, county, state and size-matched peers.
  • NY Solar Price Check — Benchmarks a residential solar quote against 185,000 NYSERDA-recorded installations, banded by system capacity so a small roof is never priced against a barn.
  • NY Wage Reality — Deflates 25 years of state payroll records by the BLS CPI-W index, separating pay that rises in dollars from pay that rises in what those dollars actually buy, resolved by county and industry.
• Cure Tracker - A clinical trial intelligence platform mapping the full drug development pipeline for any condition. It paginates the entire ClinicalTrials.gov registry rather than sampling it, folds the many names one drug is filed under into a single entry at its furthest achieved phase, and cross-references openFDA label records to separate what a doctor can already prescribe from what is still experimental. Sponsor attribution and AI-written pharmacological summaries are surfaced per compound, with a background ingestion daemon keeping the registry cache current.
• Newsplaining - An automated editorial pipeline that ingests newswire feeds continuously and applies an LLM persona layer to retell each story in a satirical register. Semantic deduplication recognises stories it has already covered, so the same one is never posted twice, and the real article is always linked alongside.
• Play Soccer Together - A geolocation-driven matchmaking application for informal football. Resolves nearby fixtures by proximity and keeps messaging between players in real time, so a game coming together — or falling apart an hour before kickoff — is visible to everyone at once.
• Boot Towers - A configuration-driven documentation engine for PlayStation 2 homebrew. Four hardware and transfer-method inputs resolve into a validated installation path, suppressing every step that does not apply to your console and rejecting incompatible pairings outright. Each resolved configuration serializes to a shareable permalink, so you can send someone the guide for their exact machine rather than a manual for everyone's.

⚙️ Infrastructure Note: Self-hosted rather than platform-deployed. Every project above runs on Linode host instances — some on their own, the rest sharing one, where the services are containerized in Docker behind a single nginx reverse proxy. DNS and TLS run through Cloudflare, which is also the registrar for most of the domains.
