About me

I’m a UX engineer living and working remotely in San Marcos, Texas.

I’ve been in this field since 2009, working across design and code with an emphasis on utilitarian software, design systems, and well-structured high-fidelity prototypes.

I also build and maintain some useful open-source utilities.

Tools

  • Design: Figma, FigJam, Photoshop
  • Code: HTML, CSS, React, Astro, Tailwind, SQL, Git
  • AI: Claude, Codex (how AI changed my work)
  • Research: Customer interviews, Pendo, Mixpanel, GA
  • Productivity: Things, Notes, long walks

Interests

  • Film: Big fan of ’80s Hollywood, horror comedies, and over-the-top action flicks.
  • TV: If you make a Community or IT Crowd reference, I’ll probably get it.
  • Books: I read the occasional fiction classic, but otherwise I’m into non-fiction, particularly on space science and U.S. history (yes, audio books count).
  • Music: I try to listen to new music every day. My stats are on Last.fm.
  • Real world: Bicycles, solo hiking, cooking, photography, minimalism, Texas barbecue, telescopes, National Parks, and road trips.

One day I hope to be recruited by an intergalactic team of fighter pilots like Alex Rogan in The Last Starfighter.
