Summer 2026

Right now, specifically.

Now

Building

LittleLamb Nannies

Co-founding a Christ-centered nanny placement service for families in Santa Barbara. This summer is the shipping window — everything we've designed needs to become something real people can use. We're building onboarding flows, matching logic, and the trust layer underneath it all.

Target: launched before September.

Working

Interning at CATLab

Westmont's applied tech lab. I'm in an SDR role — donor outreach, cold calls, Salesforce, real conversations with real people about why faith and technology belong together. More educational than I expected. You learn a lot about communication when you can't hide behind a screen.

Writing

The Argument
