Embedded Files
I help nonprofits, cultural heritage institutions, and creatives manage their IT systems, databases, websites, and media.
Freelance Data Services
The best DAMS/CMS/databases in the world won't archive or manage your content if no one can use it. Your lack of in-house dev team doesn't stop your staff from needing to export data in bulk or create digital exhibits with your outdated systems.
As a small business owner and a freelancer, I know how to make your systems work for you - whether it be helping you migrate data or digital assets, assess why you have several database systems that don't talk to each other, or writing reports or slide decks for your data projects.
Full-Stack Development
App and website development, software/hardware configurations, remote access set up, and asset security (SSL/SFTP).
Digital Asset Management
Receive, tag, archive, rename files, and manage digital assets (working files, animations, Audio/Visual material, infographics, fonts, licenses, and comics).
Database Migrations
Includes compiling and exporting data (CSV, XML, JSON, ZIP files of assets), attending vendor demos, system selection, and data mapping.
Digital Product Direction/Management
End-to-end project management for project revitalization, hiring, budgeting, presenting, timeline creation, grant writing, and promoting via social media.
Technical Writing
Produce white papers, tech specs, content operations (internal workflow, dev docs, policies), dashboard creation (Power BI, Tableau, Looker), and best practices (demos, FAQs, external policy.
Assessment
Audit, document, and analyze current workflow standards, tools, and software like Adobe Experience Manager, Archive-It, and WordPress.
Why Me?
I'm an award-winning expert with my work appearing peer-reviewed venues, op-eds, trade publications, and community organizer sites.
I know how to talk systems, DAM, archiving, and creative workflows like animation. I offer a mix of different kinds of data work because the labor doesn't care to be siloed into neat categories like just developer work or just content management.
