Building web things everyone can use.
I make purpose-built tools and write about the craft: accessibility that holds up, software that earns trust, and the occasional guitar.

What you'll find here
Accessibility, practiced
Field notes from twenty years of making large institutions usable by everyone: audits, remediation, and building it right the first time.
Had A Farm apps
Purpose-built software grown slowly and shipped carefully: Windrow, the accessibility-first CMS, and what comes next.
Guitar talk
Gear, practice, and the long slow joy of getting a little better every week. No prodigies here, just honest progress.

Windrow: the accessibility-first CMS
Most platforms let you publish inaccessible pages and call it your problem. Windrow refuses to. Every publish passes a real accessibility gate, every theme ships WCAG 2.2 AA by construction.
Built solo, tested hard, and running this very site.
After hours
Guitar talk
The third thread is six strings. I write about practice routines that survive real life, gear that earns its place, and the tunes I'm chasing.
It keeps the other two threads honest: nothing teaches patience like music.
