I spend my days bridging the gap between two worlds: the structured logic of software and the boundless imagination of children's literature.
To me, writing code and writing stories aren't so different. Whether I'm debugging a script or refining the rhythm of a picture book, I’m solving a puzzle to create a seamless experience for the audience.
The Tech Side: I build tools because I understand the writing process. My Author Helper add-on was born out of a desire to help writers (myself included) focus on the craft rather than the formatting. My Doc-to-Cat converter? Well, that exists because I believe creativity should never lose its sense of play.
The Write Side: My heart belongs to storytelling. My picture books focus on humor and heart, while my early chapter book work aims to bridge the gap for emerging readers with engaging mysteries.
I am currently seeking representation. I'd love to share my full manuscripts with you.
