About
I am a project and operations coordinator in Seattle with a Ph.D. in chemistry and a habit of building the missing system.
The settings have changed—organic electro-optic materials, hazardous-materials classification, construction operations, public-interest data—but the work has a consistent shape: enter a complicated domain, find the information bottleneck, and build something that makes the work legible and repeatable.
By day, that means coordinating construction projects and improving the software and documents behind them. In public, it means building noprofits.org, its nonprofit search and grant-flow tools, and writing the technical notes collected here.
What I write about
The notebook follows curiosity rather than a content calendar: quantum chemistry, spectroscopy, pigments, nonlinear optics, mathematical proofs, software infrastructure, visual systems, and experiments with art APIs. Equations, references, code, and diagrams stay in because they are usually where the explanation becomes useful.
