06 / Purpose
What if the best thing I build isn't for a company?
I've spent much of my career using technology to help companies better understand people.

The focus: technology that expands independence, communication, experience, connection and joy for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Already in the work
Purpose is already showing up in the work.
This is not a separate lane I plan to enter someday. It is already influencing which problems feel worth building around.
