From deploying full‑stack apps to crafting stories that inspire, I love creating things that bring people closer to meaning.
Projects
Defense data platforms, a ministry site in Guatemala, booking systems for small businesses. Different clients, same question every time: who is this actually for, and what changes for them once it exists?
Four businesses launched on it. They outgrew it, so I took it apart.
Multi‑tenant SaaS • Next.js • Terraform • AWS
A multi-tenant platform for small-business booking sites. Each client got an isolated AWS account, a custom domain, and a curated feature set, all managed through Terraform.
Solo build — architecture, infrastructure, and delivery
Vertical SaaS • Auto detailing operations
Operations software for mobile and fixed-location auto detailing companies — the 2–10 van outfits running household memberships and dealer contracts. Built around recurring revenue that schedules itself, not a booking widget with a CRM bolted on.
Solo build
In progress
Mobile • AI content studio • React Native

Solo build
Put event booking and media management online for a family-run DJ company.
Next.js • DynamoDB • Cognito • AWS

Next.js • Stripe Terminal • Bilingual • AWS
Public site, booking engine, customer SMS and email flows, Stripe payments including in-person Terminal, and a staff admin. Fully bilingual — English and Spanish.

Travel
I code from wherever I am - from the tiny house to cafés in new cities. Freedom to focus. Simplicity to ship.
Serving in Guatemala each year has reshaped how I see the world and my purpose in it. Every year, I help work with girls in orphanages, build houses for families, and more for those in need.
I married Brezo Martinez, who is the best part of every trip on that map and the reason the tiny house feels like home. Most of what is on this page happened because he kept telling me to go build it.
I spent 3 weeks in Australia visiting a friend, going snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef, walking through the Daintree Rainforest, and exploring Sydney and Melbourne.
Why this matters
None of this happens alone. I married Brezo Martinez this year, and he has been the steadiest yes behind every project on this site — the one who made room for the late builds, and told me to keep going when I wanted to shelve it all.
Occasional letters, sent when there's something worth sharing
Real stories + resources for developers who want to build a life, not just a career.
Code breakthroughs, adventure stories, creative insights, lessons from the road, and tiny house living. No fluff, no filler.
💌 Join the journey. From debugging code to debugging life.
A dystopian novel about faith, legacy, and multiplying hope. ☀️
In a world where childbearing is controlled by decree, Sela is marked unworthy.
Hopeless until she finds a fragile scrap of paper with fading words: “Be fruitful and multiply.” That single line sparks defiance, courage, and the dream of a legacy no government can erase.
I'm sharing the creative process - from raw excerpts to breakthroughs as the story comes alive
