Licensed Architect · Systems Thinker · Process Improvement
Columbus, OH · [email protected]
This is a working portfolio — not a polished marketing package. It documents the way I actually think about problems: systematically, from first principles, with an eye toward making things repeatable and maintainable rather than impressive.
My background is in architecture, but the throughline across everything I've done is the same: find the process that isn't working, understand why, and fix it in a way that fits the people who have to use it. I don't come in with a predetermined answer. I come in and learn the system first.
This repo exists because I wanted a place to show that work — not just describe it.
The Lot Fit Checker — the project that started this repo.
A residential developer needed to know which of 5 base home plans (with 65+ stacking option combinations) would fit on each of 58 lots in a new development. The plan was to measure every lot by hand with an engineer's scale and write the results in a notebook.
I built an Excel dashboard instead. Select a lot number, select a base plan and any options — one cell tells you whether the house fits. Yes or No. Green or red. Dynamic dropdowns, XLOOKUP formulas pulling from normalized reference tables, data validation to prevent bad inputs.
I handed it to the sales coordinator before a second meeting could be scheduled. The meeting never happened.
Also in this folder: documentation from the Verena at Hickory Chase project — a 53-unit, age-restricted condo development I served as sole architect on. Full permit document set for 11 buildings, delivered in 3 months.
02_mission_critical_systems— Data center rehabilitation and phasing logic from my time at exp. Keeping live servers operational while demolishing the building around them requires a certain kind of thinking.03_computational_logic— Workflow automation case studies, including a multi-source accounting pipeline built in Excel (Power Query) that reduced a weeks-long manual process to under 4 hours.04_regulatory_frameworks— Multi-state permitting methodology, including a 14-month sewer extension application involving 3 governing bodies with contradictory requirements and 12 rounds of revisions.
(These folders are in progress. I'd rather show less and show it well than show more and show it half-finished.)
I have been a licensed architect for over a decade. I have also spent that decade being the person who — without being asked — builds the thing that makes everyone else's job easier. The project tracking system. The file management structure. The BIM transition proposal. The tool that replaces the meeting.
I am currently exploring roles at the intersection of architecture, construction technology, and process improvement. If something here looks relevant to what you're working on, I'm easy to reach.
