Senior Software Engineer • Builder of tools, apps, and weirdly specific automations
Indianapolis, IN
AAC iPad app for my daughter Milla – photo-based communication with text-to-speech, built with Flutter.
- Focused on accessibility and real-world usability, not just demos
- Designed to be family-friendly, customizable, and extendable
- Lives here: 👉 stardust-aac
- ColdFusion / CFML
- JavaScript / TypeScript
- Dart (Flutter)
- SQL (SQL Server, PostgreSQL)
- HTML / CSS
- Docker & containerized dev environments
- VS Code & CommandBox
- REST APIs & JSON-based integrations
- GitHub Actions / CI workflows
- AI-assisted dev (OpenAI, automation scripts, etc.)
- Readable, boring code that future-me and teammates don’t hate
- Clear standards for naming, structure, and reviews (yes, I open issues about docs 😄)
- Automation over repetition – if I do it twice, I’m probably scripting it
- Accessibility & real users – especially for assistive/communication software
- Psychologically safe teams where questions and curiosity are normal
- Internal tools that remove friction for teams
- Communication and accessibility apps (like Stardust AAC)
- Small utilities that glue services together
- Developer experience improvements (scripts, docs, templates)
If you’re the kind of person who gets unreasonably happy about a well-documented repo and a clean
docker-composefile, we’d probably get along.
- 🧑💻 GitHub: you’re already here → @dreamstarter
- Parent, gamer, and perpetual tinkerer
- Big fan of using tech to make real life easier for neurodivergent brains and families
- Very willing to refactor code I wrote at 2 a.m. and pretend it was never that messy
💬 Open to collaborations on accessibility, tools for devs, or interesting web projects.
