Service before spectacle
Veteran mental-health advocacy, community leadership, Rotary, and RYLA shaped the same operating principle: make support practical, humane, and accountable.
Veterans and mental health
My advocacy centers practical tools, community, and honest conversations that respect lived experience—especially for veterans navigating transition, isolation, and mental-health challenges. I care about technology that lowers friction without pretending software can replace human care.
Rotary and RYLA
I have worked closely with Rotary and Rotary Youth Leadership Awards communities. Their emphasis on service, ethical leadership, and developing young people fits the same pattern I value in open source: share responsibility, make room for others, and leave a system stronger.
