About

The systems work.

Because the person building them understands the mission, the money, the data, the message, and the people doing the work.

I build the systems that make fundraising and nonprofit operations work — the donor databases, grant-tracking frameworks, reporting infrastructure, automations, brand standards, and operating procedures that turn scattered activity into something visible and usable.

As the sole systems developer and operations administrator for a homeless-services nonprofit, I designed and ran the data environment behind more than $855,000 in annual revenue while managing donor operations, grant reporting, communications, privacy responsibilities, and cross-functional process design.

My work sits where technical architecture meets human judgment. I can map a Dataverse relationship, write a board-ready report, reconcile a payment workflow, shape a campaign, document the process, and explain why the system should exist in the first place.

Act III · Evidence

Selected
work.

The portfolio is not a gallery of disconnected deliverables. It is evidence that I can design the system, run the work, measure the result, and communicate what happened.

Systems & operations

Nonprofit Power Platform Ecosystem

Need: replace scattered records and manual work with a governed system. Build: Model-Driven and Canvas apps, Dataverse architecture, field-level security, flows, dashboards, and JavaScript resources. Value: one connected environment for intake, case management, fundraising, grants, and finance.

DataversePower AppsPower AutomatePower BI
Development finance

Annual Giving Revenue Engine

Need: make annual giving visible from campaign plan through reconciliation. Build: a repeatable operating model connecting donor records, payment channels, stewardship, calendars, and reporting. Value: development and finance work from the same evidence trail.

CRMReconciliationStewardship
Grants & measurement

Grant KPI Framework

Need: turn grant promises into auditable measurement. Build: twenty measures around nine required KPIs, with targets, methods, live capture, and reporting logic. Value: staff activity, outcomes, and funder reports stay connected.

OutcomesGrant reportingData model
Branding & communications

Brand System & Campaign Design

Need: create a coherent public identity across channels. Build: brand standards, voice, web information architecture, donor messaging, and campaign templates. Value: consistent communication staff could apply without a full agency.

Brand strategyCopyCampaignsDesign
Program & community design

Diversity & Inclusion Program

Need: move inclusion work from intention to programming. Build: a stakeholder-informed framework spanning directory, roundtable, summit, attraction, retention, and public events. Value: a practical program structure the Chamber could operate.

Let’s build something that holds.

I am interested in roles where systems thinking, development operations, communications, reporting, and practical execution belong in the same job.
