Things I've Built

Research tells you whether something works. Software is how it reaches anyone. These are the systems I have shipped — what they do, what they are built on, and how finished each one is.

    Your Ballot, Your Block

    Enter a Miami-Dade address and find out who is actually on your ballot after this year's redistricting — and where you vote.

    • Built with a team of four in under five hours, against a field of 13 teams and 50 invited builders
    • Every candidate position links to a primary source — the candidate's own page or their recorded vote. It shows a match and its evidence, never an endorsement.
    • Privacy by design: an address is used once to resolve districts and a polling place, and is never stored
