Hey, I'm Blake. Let's build something awesome.
Full-stack engineer building platforms that handle real complexity, from geospatial data pipelines to large-scale research systems.
/* Proven track record shipping software that matters. */
/* Building solutions to real-world problems. */
01Full-Stack PlatformAgricultural management platform built to oversee field data programs, from validated field and lab data collection, to consolidated reports and analytics for stakeholders.
02Full-Stack Platform · 2024Soil health platform built to coordinate large-scale agricultural field data from sample collection through lab analysis to stakeholder reports.
Other Projects
03softwareAnalysts get a single, interactive map to visualize and compare geographic data across every county in the United States: pulling scattered datasets into one place, rendering them as clear visual layers on a map, and letting users compare regions side-by-side, replacing manual spreadsheet and GIS work with a few clicks.
04webGuests plan and book their stay at Custer State Park's lodges and cabins here: browsing historic lodge rooms and rustic cabins, discovering activities like buffalo safari tours and scenic drives, and reserving dates directly online — turning a phone-only booking process into self-service trip planning, accessible to anyone.
05webPatients find the right care at Schneck Medical Center through this site: searching for doctors and services, scheduling appointments online or reserving a spot in urgent care, and managing bills, records, and insurance through a secure patient portal — putting everything a patient needs in one place instead of a phone call away.
06webSouth Dakotans facing hunger find help here, while donors and volunteers find ways to give: locating the nearest food pantry or mobile distribution site, donating funds or food, and signing up to volunteer — coordinating hunger relief across all 66 counties of South Dakota from a single hub.
07webMembers manage their entire banking relationship with U.S. Eagle online here: opening an account, applying for loans and credit cards, transferring money, and using budgeting tools to track their finances — turning a credit union visit into something members can do from their phone or computer.
08webSDSU alumni and donors stay connected to the university they support here: giving to scholarships, endowments, and athletics, joining a local chapter or mentorship program, and following the impact of campaigns, keeping a growing alumni network engaged from anywhere.
/* Engineer by craft, problem-solver by nature. */
I'm Blake, a full-stack engineer with a background that spans marketing, CRM, and software development. That cross-disciplinary path means I think about what I'm building for people, not just how it works under the hood.
I gravitate toward the hard problems: complex data models, geographic systems, multi-organization platforms, where getting the architecture right up front saves months of pain later.
I'm a bit of a learning junkie. Always poking around new tools, frameworks, and whatever the dev world throws my way.
Here's what I reach for most:
/* Open to new opportunities */
and start building something awesome.
