I’ve been building things on computers since before I knew it could be a career. Software, tooling, hardware, it never mattered what. The act of creating something from nothing is the only work that’s ever made me feel like I’m not working.

I grew up in Atlanta, where I co-founded Lions Heart, a youth volunteer organization that coordinated more than 10,000 hours of community service across the city.

I moved to Washington, DC to study computer science at George Washington University and row Division I. Our crew finished seventh at the IRA National Championship, an experience that taught me consistency, trust, and teamwork.

After college I co-founded AdventureGenie, an AI trip planner for RV travelers, and led its frontend and design as it grew past 50,000 monthly users. I helped raise $3 million along the way. AdventureGenie taught me to work across the whole problem, from a customer’s first impression to the infrastructure behind it, and showed me that AI works best when it shapes the product from the beginning.

Then I started JJH Digital, where I build and operate software for clients who need more than a template. I’ve delivered full-stack, e-commerce, membership, and AI systems, owning projects from the first conversation through launch and long-term operation.

Today I’m a software engineer on Docusign’s Workspaces team in Chicago. I ship customer-facing features and production systems, and I help engineers across the company work more effectively with AI.

Outside work, I’ve been moving deeper into AI models one layer at a time: the agents built on top of them, the context they’re given, the machines they run on, and next, the models themselves, through fine-tuning and post-training. Mostly, I’m doing it to understand what comes next, and what the next few years will look like.

I’m most at home working on hard problems with small teams, especially when I can stay close to both the people using the product and the systems behind it.
