Health examination, infrastructure, documentation, and design research

Profile

I study how practical systems can be made more usable, maintainable, and legible in constrained environments. My current research includes health examination in low-resource settings, alongside work in infrastructure operations, technical communication, design research, and systems education.

This site collects research-facing material: working papers, public notes, talks, and a concise record of relevant experience. It is intentionally separate from my personal site and blog so formal projects, drafts, and citations have a stable home.
