I spent three years administering warehouse management systems at Körber, running four enterprise accounts and turning what warehouse managers needed into specs, SQL reporting, and scoped work. Then I went back for an M.S. in Computer Science and spent a year and a half owning a research project end to end: planning the build, recruiting families, running the study, and coding the analysis. I like the part of the job where you decide what gets built and why.
Open to product, solutions, analytics, and accessibility roles. Pacific Northwest or remote.
I'm interested in the work that happens before the code. Figuring out what people need, deciding what gets built, and keeping the thing that ships close to the problem it started with. I've done versions of that as a support analyst, as a graduate researcher, and now in a wood shop.
The route here was not linear. I finished a degree in Management of Information Systems, then spent three years at Körber Supply Chain administering warehouse management systems for four enterprise accounts. When HR blocked my move into software development because I didn't have a CS degree, I went back to Western for an M.S. instead. I've been a bartender and a carpenter along the way, and I'm a carpenter again now.
Most of what I know about building for people I learned in the KIND Lab. I built a game to help autistic children practice pronouns, then scrapped my own approved study design because I had planned the whole thing for those kids without involving any of them. The replacement put me in four families' living rooms watching them play. That's still the best decision I've made on a project.
When I'm not working you'll find me on a trail with Georgia, my chocolate lab, training for my next half marathon, or behind a bar making cocktails. I'm into road biking, reading, and the occasional long video game session. I like being outside as much as I can.

The paper examines how accessibility coursework can produce measurable knowledge gains in students while their reflections still contain ableist framings, including deficit-based language, unsubstantiated claims about assistive technology, and erasure of disabled people's agency.
A Unity game that helps autistic gestalt language learners practice pronouns, built for an in-home participatory evaluation with four families. I owned it end to end, including the art.
A playable simulation of the wave, pick, stage, pack, load, and ship flow I administered for three years, including what happens when a picker reaches an empty location. Built to explain the domain to people who have never worked in it.

For three years I administered warehouse management systems for four enterprise accounts. Most of that job was explaining the same flow to people who had never worked in a warehouse: an order comes in, inventory gets allocated, someone walks the floor and picks it, and what gets picked is packed and shipped.
So I built the flow instead of describing it. The interesting part is the exception. If the picker reaches the location and it is empty, that line shorts, replenishment refills the location, and the pick gets tried again. If it cannot be refilled in time, someone has to decide whether the customer waits or gets a partial shipment. That decision is the whole job.

The paper examines how accessibility coursework can produce measurable knowledge gains in students while their reflections still contain ableist framings, including deficit-based language, unsubstantiated claims about assistive technology, and erasure of disabled people's agency.
My contribution: Applied an iteratively developed codebook via inductive coding to all 35 papers in the review corpus and helped identify six recurring patterns of ableism. Findings were reviewed by a second researcher for consistency. This is my first conference presentation.

My contribution: First author. I planned the build, ran recruitment, designed the instruments, ran the in-home sessions, and coded the analysis. Findings are held until publication.

My contribution: I joined after the original authors had graduated and the paper had been rejected from a prior conference. I revised the discussion section for resubmission, addressed reviewer feedback, and worked with the faculty advisor to bring the manuscript back to submission readiness.
