About me

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

I’ve been working across design and code since 2009, with an emphasis on complex products, data-intensive workflows, design systems, and well-organized high-fidelity prototypes. I customize research and testing to the challenge, using what I learn from customers to turn ambiguous problems into confident decisions.

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

Tools

  • Design: Figma, FigJam, paper & pencil
  • Code: HTML, CSS, React, Astro, Storybook, SQL, Git
  • AI: Claude, Make, MCP → how AI changed my work
  • Research: Talking directly to customers, Mixpanel, Dovetail
  • 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, maps, 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.
