At VotingWorks, I work on VxScan, VxAdmin, and VxMark, open-source election products built with TypeScript and React. I also work on the scanner’s ballot interpretation engine, turning scanned ballot images into vote data.

I took VxSuite 4.0 through federal VVSG 2.0 testing from 2025 to 2026, addressing findings from the test lab and source-code review until it became the first open-source voting system certified. I also hardened the offline machines with TPM-backed signing, UEFI Secure Boot, and a read-only verified root filesystem.

Before VotingWorks, I built card payment flows at Stripe, including 3D Secure 2 handling for European payments, and helped keep API changes backward compatible. At Clever, I worked on SSO and roster-sync services that brought student data from district SIS systems to app partners, as well as data warehousing and Go services generated from Swagger specs.
