Moksha Dog LLC is my independent consulting practice, focused on helping mission-driven organizations—nonprofits, social enterprises, advocacy groups, community organizations—solve their workflow and business problems using Salesforce and web development frameworks. I work with organizations that need someone who can see the big picture, translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders, and build systems that actually make sense for how people work.

The name comes from my rescue dog Moksha and a .dog domain I grabbed over a decade ago during a career transition. At the time, I thought I'd eventually have my own business—though I wasn't sure what it would be. The LLC also serves as a catch-all for other ventures, including creative projects and merch.

It's professional, but it's also honest about who I am and how I work. I don't do much corporate jargon. I want to work with people who value clarity and practical solutions over buzzwords.

I'm a Salesforce Certified Application Architect with a background spanning web development, enterprise systems, nonprofit work, and a long history of learning unfamiliar technology under pressure. I have worn the hats of Salesforce developer, administrator, and consultant over my decade working in the ecosystem.

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a minor in Computer Science from Duke University back when my email client was Pine and Netscape Navigator was the browser of choice. I live in Durham, NC with my current best boy Patrick and two senior kitties, Buster and Lucille, who arrived at the homestead as a bonded pair just months after Moksha's arrival a dozen years ago.

I belive most technology problems are ultimately communication problems. I believe we perform better in environments that are psychologically safe, where we can be honest about what we know and don't know, and where we can bring our authentic selves to work. I try to bring that mindset to my work and the teams I work with.
