The person behind the projects

Hi, I’m Dalton.

Curiosity is the through line.

Business gave me the context. Analytics gave me the tools. Building products gives me a way to put them together.

Always connecting the dots.

01 / My story

From understanding
to making.

Connect the dots.

I like asking hard questions, getting into the details, and turning what I learn into something useful.

  1. 01 Business context
  2. 02 Analytical thinking
  3. 03 Useful products

My background is in business administration. My professional path has taken me from accounting into benefits analytics and then into broader data work at Enterprise Mobility. Across those roles, the connection has been the same: understand the business problem, work through the data, and help people make a clearer decision.

That instinct carries into the products I build independently. I’m interested in the whole path from a frustrating workflow to a working tool: what someone needs, how the experience should feel, and what it takes to make it work.

Today, I use AI-assisted development to explore and implement those ideas. My business and analytics background gives that work its direction. OpenCourt, IrrigaPlan, and Span are different expressions of that curiosity.

02 / Technical toolkit

What I
build with.

Ideas into working code.

Business context, analytical thinking, and hands-on software development.

I write code to automate work and build products. Python is my strongest language; JavaScript, TypeScript, and CSS are part of how I turn ideas into interactive web experiences.

My strongest language

Python

Automation, data pipelines, and useful tools. My deepest experience is in using code to solve business problems and make repeatable work easier.

  • Automation
  • Data pipelines
  • Decision tools
Where I use it
Web applications

Product logic

  • JavaScript
  • TypeScript
  • React
  • Next.js

I build application workflows and interactive features, connecting what someone sees with how the product behaves.

Interfaces & interaction

The experience

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • Responsive UI
  • Motion

I shape layouts, interactions, and small details, then refine how the experience works across screens.

Explore Span

I use AI-assisted development to explore ideas, implement features, and test behavior. Staying curious about the underlying code is part of how I keep growing.

03 / Professional experience

The work
along the way.

Business context first.
Data that helps people act.

05 / Beyond the work

Still asking
“what if?”

Learning is what keeps me moving.

I read across data science, philosophy, history, and technology. I like the way an idea from one field can change how I look at a problem in another.

I’m drawn to experimentation, automation, data visualization, and design. Building is a way to follow that interest: try an idea, see where it gets messy, and keep making it better.

If you’re getting to know me for a role or a collaboration, that’s the combination I bring: business context, analytical thinking, and the drive to make things tangible.

Good work starts
with a good question.

I’m interested in teams and people turning real problems into useful products. If that’s the work you’re doing, I’d like to hear about it.
