Four things you can open and check.
Every entry below has a source you can click. Where a site is no longer live at its original address, I link the archive instead of leaving you a dead link.
The Record
04 entriesCivic software · public record
Bad Faith Prosecution
A public record of the Broadview Six case, built so that every claim on the site traces back to the filing it came from. I read the federal docket and checked each date and statute against what I had written before any of it shipped.
Why it matters: a case record is only worth as much as its weakest citation. If one link is wrong, the whole thing is a rumor.
Writing · research
Grown From Concrete
My own writing, including an honest accounting of my AI use: the full corpus exported, classified by an open-source analyzer I built, independently audited, then verified again from scratch on a competitor’s tools.
Result: three separate methods agreed. The pipeline and the caveats are public too.
Client site · Haverstraw
Serie 32 Grocery
A Dominican-owned bodega in Haverstraw. The store needed to exist online the way it exists on the block — findable, obviously local, easy to order from.
- Local search first. The page title led with “Bodega in Haverstraw, NY” — written for someone typing that into a phone two blocks away, not for a branding deck.
- Delivery where customers already were. DoorDash wired in, rather than asking a corner store to run a checkout it did not need.
- Storefront basics. Hours, address, what the store carries — the details people actually leave a site over.
Status: the store’s domain lapsed and the site is gone from its original address. I am not going to quietly leave a dead link on a portfolio.
Nonprofit · St. Louis · staff role
Latinos en Axión STL
A Latino community nonprofit. I ran the website — Joomla — and built out the Spanish translation, so the organization could reach its community in both languages instead of one.
I was not only the web person. I worked Cover Missouri outreach, helping people enroll in health coverage under the Affordable Care Act. That is the part that still shapes how I work with nonprofits: I have sat on the program side of one, not just the vendor side.
Staff listing, verbatim: Daniel Ismael Aguilar — Website; Cover Missouri Outreach
Most people who build for community organizations have never worked inside one. I have. I know what it is like to need the website to do one specific thing for somebody who is counting on it, today, with no budget and no time.
