Software Engineer · Building civic technology tools
I build free public-interest tools that translate inaccessible federal government datasets into plain-language lookups for underserved Americans — particularly rural communities, low-income renters, and households affected by public health and infrastructure gaps. All tools are live, free, and built entirely on federal open data from the EPA, HUD, CFPB, and public health research institutions.
Makes the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System searchable by home address. Residents can see their water system's full violation history, contaminant type, enforcement actions, and health context — without navigating federal databases built for regulators.
The first free public tool to determine, by home address, whether a US resident lives in an ambulance desert — defined as more than 25 minutes from the nearest ambulance station by road. An estimated 4.5 million Americans live in ambulance deserts.
Surfaces HUD Fair Market Rent data alongside rental affordability gaps by ZIP code. Translates federal rental benchmarks into plain-language context for low-income renters.
Makes CFPB Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) lending data accessible by geography. Surfaces mortgage origination patterns, denial rates, and access gaps in underserved communities.
