I don't just build websites. I build tools that help communities work better together. My background isn't traditional. I studied political science and sociology, worked in international exchange and public diplomacy, and spent years facilitating encounters between people from vastly different worlds. Along the way I discovered something: most digital tools are built by people who understand technology but not people. I come from the other direction.
I taught myself to code — and what I built first wasn't a portfolio project. It was a real system, for a real community. komma is a CRM and ERP solution designed specifically for nonprofit organizations, associations, and faith communities. It's already in use, and it works — because I built it from the inside out.
Most developers ask what features you want. I ask how your organization breathes — how decisions get made, where information gets lost, what frustrates your team on a Tuesday afternoon. The technical solution comes after that conversation, not before.
My applications don't emerge from a drawing board. They develop in daily use, together with the people who will eventually use them. Contacts, communication, calendars, newsletters, donations and finances — in one shared system instead of ten separate programs.
Software isn't a one-time project for me. I build systems that can grow — new functions, new requirements, new teams — step by step, without starting over. I'm there long after the launch, because that's when the real work begins.
