Founder · Accessibility · Software

I'm a software testing manager turned garden software founder based in Beaverton, Oregon. I build the plumbing — the governance frameworks, the accessibility architecture, the offline-first systems — so that when community wisdom enters a product, the people whose wisdom it is retain ownership of it. I co-authored a peer-reviewed paper on inclusive Agile, got featured in the New York Times for inclusive engineering, and spent two years testing accessibility at enterprise scale. Now I build a garden app and tend a folklore library.

Featured Projects

Zone Gardening

Offline-first garden planning for neurodivergent brains. 113+ folklore entries across 9 cultural traditions, every one attributed. Free forever. The product where AI Voice Sovereignty was invented.

Westside Interfaith Neighbors

Pro bono community hub for a 14-faith coalition in Beaverton. WCAG 2.1 AA, static HTML, forkable architecture. The first proof that the framework travels beyond the garden.

Nigh's Living Library

A tended collection of wisdom from Galya "Nigh" Gunderson. The first Living Library — attributed, preserved, and cared for. Built on The Living Sanctuary platform.

AI Voice Sovereignty

A governance framework for AI systems that hold cultural knowledge. Published as a named, citable framework. Reviewed 24 major AI ethics frameworks — none had built the mechanism.
