Van Schenck

I am a full-stack product engineer who turns complex domains into reliable software. I work across backend architecture, public APIs, permissions, admin workflows, donor and consumer product surfaces, and polished user experiences, with a bias toward systems that are clear for teams to extend and useful for the people relying on them.
