Web Projects
Production apps, personal tools and experimental builds — with screenshots, live links and the thinking behind each one
The same instincts that drove my investigative reporting — digging through complexity, finding structure in chaos, telling a clear story — now shape how I architect applications. After completing OU Outreach's Fullstack Academy, I now build with Next.js, React, TypeScript and PostgreSQL.
These projects range from production client work — a dental practice site that increased bookings by more than 33% — to open-source intelligence tools, AI model comparisons and a personal data platform processing 200,000-plus records.
