DekanChaffee County, ColoradoSay hello

Around here

Need a clearer website or a smoother way to handle the work behind it? I help Chaffee County businesses make both easier for their customers and teams.

  • Websites & apps

    Make it easy for people to find you, understand what you offer, and take the next step — from a clear website to a small customer-facing tool.

  • Make the everyday easier

    Simplify inquiries, follow-ups, and the repeated tasks that slow your day down. I can use AI where it makes the workflow more useful.

A few ways I’ve explored clearer websites and more useful digital tools for local businesses. These are concepts and demos, not client commissions.

  • Founder · Smart contracts & community

    DAOhaus

    I wrote governance smart contracts for groups managing a shared treasury, and built the group that maintained the open-source software around them. We also built tools for coordination and communication.

    An Ethereum community supporting application builders through microgrants. Part of my work in helping small teams get ideas off the ground.
