I build beautiful digital products on top of interesting data. Often that data is about cities — how they get planned, what gets built, and who ends up owning it.

About
Realie.ai is where that interest turned into a company: we build the systems that keep property data accurate. The Woodley Company is where I take consulting work, and the side projects are where I get to experiment.
I studied computer science and economics at Vanderbilt, then spent five years at MongoDB working on metrics and log ingestion for MongoDB Cloud. And I've been building my own things in Brooklyn ever since.
