Hi there! I'm a former architect-turned-city planner-turned UI engineer. You might know me from Streetmix, a community engagement platform for street design:

Streetmix

...or as a corporate overlord of the Bad Idea Factory, a collective of creatives working on extremely important, life-changing projects like this emoji-based decision making oracle:

The Emoji Compass

I also do civic technology and maps! For instance, this hi-definition unofficial fan remaster of New York City's Weekender map:

The Weekender HD Remaster

I work on open source as much as possible, and I dedicate some of my time to submitting patches to other open source libraries that I use. Sharing is caring. Capitalism is destroying the planet. By sponsoring me, you're not only supporting me, you're really making the world a better place. Cheers!

The Professional Consultant Tier

At this tier and up, you can start to take advantage of some of my skills professionally! I am Very Good at JavaScript and CSS, particular those weird browser quirks that Real Programmers™ tend to be very afraid of. Here's a thing I'd like to try*: support at this tier gets you a budget of about 10 hrs/month where I will get on a video call with you or an engineer on your team (during typical US East Coast working hours) to pair with or mentor through whatever particular front-end challenge needs some reasoning about.

*While supplies last.

This tier does not include previous tier rewards.

The Let's Get Together And Make Something Happen Tier

I'm sure you've needed some development work to be done?

Whether that's a feature or addition to Streetmix, or you need some short-term support on the backlog for your own project, I'd be happy to sit down and talk through what you need. I will only work on on open-source projects and I'm highly selective about what I work on, so please reach out to me first before sponsoring me at this tier. Let's chat!

If we work on something that makes it into Streetmix, you will get your name (or your organization's name) into the credits!

This tier does not include previous tier rewards.
