Free, open resource platforms, field tools, and civic technology for people experiencing homelessness — built because lived experience makes the need impossible to ignore.
Lived experience informs these projects. I build and maintain these platforms for free because the gap between someone needing help and finding it is often a technology problem — a bad website, an outdated resource list, a page that doesn't load on a phone with a weak signal in the rain.
These are problems I can actually fix. So I do.
The platforms are built mobile-first because that's how people in crisis access the internet. They're built with plain HTML and PHP — no JavaScript frameworks, no build steps, no CDN requirements — because reliability in hostile network conditions matters more than developer convenience.
Resource accuracy is treated as a trust problem, not a content problem. Every listing has a verification status, confidence level, and source type. Outdated information in this context isn't just unhelpful — it's harmful.

Case study →verificationStatus, confidence, and sourceType — so out-of-date listings are flagged, not silently served.No grant funding, no nonprofit status, no organizational backing. These sites are maintained by one person on a self-funded VPS on personal time.
