I build software, automate workflows, and write technical documentation.
My work includes web applications, data processing, and integrations. I develop the interfaces and backend services, then write guides that explain how to use them.
I work across product design, databases, APIs, and user interfaces. My projects range from full-stack applications to tools that reduce repetitive work.
At Hawaii Life, I bring hands-on reservation and accounting experience into that work. I build tools for email intake, record entry, document collection, and review, then turn the operating process into walkthroughs and quick references.
My technical writing starts with how a system behaves: what information it needs, which decisions it supports, and what someone needs to know to use it. The same attention shapes my product explanations, research essays, and interactive data stories.
Creative writing, photography, and visual design are also part of my practice. They inform how I structure an explanation, pace an interface, and make a complex idea easier to follow.
I work across product design, database modeling, backend services, interfaces, and documentation. These projects range from complete business applications to focused tools for analysis, scheduling, and daily operations. The case studies explain what each system does and how its parts work together.
An accounting platform for teams managing funds on behalf of property owners, connecting bills, payments, bank reconciliation, and owner distributions through a shared ledger.
A customer booking flow and business workspace connected by one backend. Scheduling, staff availability, customer records, Stripe payments, and notifications stay tied to the same appointment.
A shared booking engine connects listings, available nights, guest records, and agreed prices with the work of preparing each property for arrival.
A discovery app for Kauaʻi events and community groups, bringing scattered listings into feeds, swipe cards, maps, and calendars.
Focused work in data, automation, web development, and interactive systems.
From free-text encounter notes to a structured dataset for studying COVID-19 patient patterns.
A service website that helps Kauaʻi business owners recognize a problem, understand the available help, and get in touch.
Guest-specific refund emails and matching receipts, assembled in Gmail for accounting review.
A team project connecting student club discovery, memberships, and events at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
A Godot wave defense game connecting character movement, timed abilities, and persistent upgrades.
An interactive comparison of global events, stock market movements, and GDP trends across regions.
A Python tool for recording microphone or network audio and inspecting its waveform and frequency content.
Automation that brings payment records and client locations into a shared dashboard for a construction company.
A browser tool that turns player sign-ups into appointments for a three-day game event. It models availability, shared resources, and appointment limits together, seeking the highest estimated points before applying slot-filling and fairness priorities.
Members can import a Microsoft Forms export, review the schedule and notes, and download an Excel workbook. A Python version supports the same workflow, including existing assignments in a template.
A Next.js prototype connecting property search, map exploration, listing details, a Kauaʻi area guide, and buyer and seller inquiries. A mortgage calculator lets visitors explore how financing assumptions affect a monthly payment.
The prototype uses fictional listings behind a common data interface. Live property data and CRM delivery are future integrations; the current build develops the browsing experience, form handling, and reusable design components.
At Hawaii Life, accounting work reveals where information gets separated: an email, a spreadsheet, a document, and an entry in another system. I build tools and write guidance that reconnect those steps, with clear points for staff review.
AI-assisted workflows turn booking emails into prepared reservation details, then use JavaScript browser automation to enter and update records in Escapia. Channel-specific parsers handle Airbnb, Booking.com, Marriott/HVMI, and direct bookings.
Exact property matching, financial reconciliation, and saved-state checks keep each action tied to its source. Payments and other final financial submissions stay with a person; parser QA covers 66 spreadsheet cases.

An email-to-accounting dashboard retrieves messages, identifies invoices, and brings extracted details, draft accounting memos, and source files into one table.
Staff can compare the prepared information with the original invoice before copying it into Escapia. The workflow supports that review and entry step; direct integration is planned around future platform updates.

An Apps Script workbench connects property records, renewal outreach, certificate collection, and a responsive upload portal. Unit validation, upload checks, and duplicate detection help keep incoming documents attached to the right record.
Drive storage and Sheets synchronization carry documents back into the workflow. Personalized owner correspondence explains what to provide and where to upload it, with staff review built into the process.

Refund report ingestion prepares guest-specific Gmail drafts and matches supporting receipts in Drive. Recipient mapping and batch labels keep the prepared correspondence together for accounting review.
Compressed, chunked storage with SHA-256 integrity checks supports larger report batches while preserving existing reports and completed correspondence.
A recurring Python pipeline assembles multipage receipts, uses OCR to identify supporting information, matches vendors, and reconciles payment totals. Validated packets and manifests feed an Apps Script queue for Gmail drafts.
The document pipeline combines qpdf, Ghostscript, and Tesseract, with 34 automated processor tests.

Invoice processing also needs consistent language. I develop AI-assisted workflows for normalizing document names and accounting descriptions, supported by practical staff guides.
The instructions explain how to prepare the information, what to check against the source, and where a judgment still needs a person. Short references make those standards easier to return to during the work.
I follow a subject from its underlying mechanisms and evidence to what it means for the reader. These pieces bring research, explanation, and interactive data into the same story.
A walkthrough of the scheduling algorithm behind my Whiteout community tool. It starts with the problem of fitting competing requests into limited appointments, uses a flow network analogy to explain the model, then develops the constraints, ranked objectives, and implementation for a technical reader.
A data story tracing how renewable electricity drew level with coal, and the decades of change behind that moment. An interactive timeline gives the reader a way to examine how the balance shifted.
An article tracing falling U.S. overdose deaths through local differences and possible explanations. Its interactive companion combines CDC charts, a state map, and a policy timeline, giving the national trend a more detailed context.
An examination of the assumptions connecting scarcity, efficiency, and control in accounts of advanced AI. The essay asks how those arguments change if intelligence can expand what counts as an available resource.
A study of what game economies and AI agents can contribute to economic research. Historical examples lead into a proposed methodological standard, with attention to the limits of simulation and the difference between a useful experiment and a convincing imitation.
An argument for examining a broad field of economic data before deciding what a model can safely leave out. The essay connects representation learning with economic modeling, then separates the demands of prediction, explanation, and causal inference.
I authored nine illustrated operational handbooks totaling more than 300 pages for Hawaii Life’s reservations, accounting, refunds, and insurance work. Annotated screenshots, linked references, decision paths, and exception handling help staff follow a process and find their way back after an interruption.
The format depends on the moment: a fuller walkthrough for learning a process, or a brief reference for finding the next step.
