Projects · 2015 — now

Things I've shipped, led, and worked on.

A selection — Dohop work, side projects, communities, and the occasional WordPress site. Most of it lives in private repos, so what's here is the shape of the work.

Where else

Most of what I work on lives in private repos — happy to walk you through anything over a coffee or call.
