I’m a technology and business analytics professional with nearly two decades of experience in web development, business intelligence, data analytics, and technology strategy. I’ve also been an entrepreneur, which has given me a firsthand understanding of how technology decisions affect business operations, growth, and the bottom line.
I started my career writing code and building websites, but over time, I became just as interested in the business decisions behind the technology. Why was a particular solution needed? Was it solving the right problem? And how could we measure whether it worked?
That curiosity shaped my career and how I approach technology today. I believe the best solutions start with understanding the business, its people, its processes, and what it’s trying to accomplish—not simply choosing the latest technology.
My career began in web development, building websites and applications for government agencies, nonprofits, and businesses. Along the way, I’ve worked on some memorable projects, including building the 2004 State of the Union website for the White House as a federal contractor. I also founded and ran Muvmint Solutions, a web development agency serving clients such as The Washington Post, Ms. Magazine, Feminist Majority, and the National Council of Women’s Organizations.
My career has included roles as Web Development Manager at the Center for Progressive Leadership, Online Communications Specialist at Communities In Schools, and Web Applications Specialist at the National Library of Medicine, where I spent more than five years developing public-facing websites and applications. I also worked as a Digital Business Strategist, helping organizations connect their technology decisions with broader business goals.
My technical background includes HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Angular, React, Node.js, PHP, WordPress, Drupal, SQL databases, APIs, and web accessibility standards such as WCAG and Section 508.
What I’ve learned from all that experience is simple: building technology is only half the job. Understanding why it’s needed and whether it delivers value is just as important.
My development experience eventually led me into business intelligence and data analytics, where I use data to better understand problems, uncover opportunities, and support smarter decisions.
On the business analysis side, I focus on understanding how organizations work—mapping processes, gathering requirements, identifying inefficiencies, and collaborating with stakeholders to define solutions that make sense.
On the analytics side, I work with Python, SQL, Excel, Tableau, and Power BI to prepare, analyze, and visualize data, develop KPIs, and create meaningful reports.
I’m especially interested in going beyond dashboards and historical reporting to explore patterns, identify trends, develop forecasts, and apply predictive analytics to real business questions. For me, the goal isn’t just to explain what happened, but to help organizations understand what might happen next and what they can do about it.
My experience in development, analytics, and entrepreneurship has taught me to approach technology from a business-first perspective.
Before recommending a solution, I want to understand the problem. What’s slowing things down? What does the data reveal? Which processes need improvement? Is new technology even necessary? And how will we know if the investment pays off?
I enjoy connecting the dots between business needs and technical capabilities—whether that means improving workflows, evaluating technology investments, developing roadmaps, or identifying opportunities to increase efficiency and support sustainable growth.
Ultimately, I’m interested in helping organizations make better decisions about technology, rather than adopting technology simply because it’s available.
In addition to founding a web development agency, I’ve written about small business and real estate development.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Studies with a minor in Business Administration from the University of Maryland.
I’m also passionate about expanding access and opportunity in technology, particularly for underrepresented communities.
Outside of work, I enjoy applying my creativity to sustainable upcycling and furniture restoration projects, combining craftsmanship with a passion for environmental responsibility.
