Software engineer · Bozeman, Montana
I build software that makes complicated things easier to use.
I built and maintain Buggin, a published fly-fishing app. My work also includes web-based data tools, native apps, and a Rust database explorer.
01 / Mobile appOn the App Store
A fly-fishing app that brings river measurements, weather, maps, and AI-assisted forecasts into one useful experience.
I designed and built the Flutter app and Firebase backend, integrated river and weather data, and manage App Store releases.
Engineering decisionKept the underlying measurements visible alongside AI-assisted advice so anglers can inspect what a forecast is based on.

02 / Web & data visualizationLive web product
A configurable charting product that makes USGS river conditions easy to explore and embed in fishing reports and other websites.
I built the USGS data integration, interactive time-series charts, and a configuration workflow for embedding charts on other websites.
Engineering decisionUsed isolated iframe embeds to keep charts independent of each host site’s styles and framework.

03 / Developer tooling
A terminal interface for SQLite.
Source project
A Rust terminal interface for SQLite: explore tables and schemas, inspect foreign keys, run queries, and export results to CSV.
I built the terminal UI and database inspection tools, bringing schema exploration and query results into one keyboard-driven workflow.
Implementation focusMaking tables, schemas, and foreign-key relationships accessible within the terminal, with CSV export for working with results elsewhere.

I’m a software engineer in Bozeman, Montana, and the founder of Coburn Studios. I work on independent products and client projects, from interface design to backend systems and releases.
My projects often start with something I want to understand better: river conditions, a database, or a more useful way to work with data.
