I'm on a mission to build tech for wildlife conservation 👋
I help wildlife NGOs and conservationists with tech solutions that save time and money. From CRM integrations to GIS mapping, let's chat about how I can help your org thrive.
Note: For-profit consultations hourly rate is $150. Please reach out before booking.
Why volunteer, and what's my goal?
My mission is to create tech solutions to advance wildlife conservation.
My ultimate goal is to build software that helps wildlife conservation organizations operate more efficiently and effectively, at scale.
Phase 1: Volunteering, Research & Discovery
CurrentThe most common mistake entrepreneurs make is not understanding the needs of their users. This is why I'm dedicating an entire year to reaching out to wildlife conservation organizations to volunteer as their tech consultant. Helping them with their technology needs until I identify a common problem that needs a solution.
Phase 2: Build a minimum viable product that scales
Build a minimum viable software to solve that problem. Build it in-public with regular progress updates posted online to reach more conservationists.
Phase 3: Scale & Grow
Growing it. Offering it to hundreds or thousands of conservation efforts.

I built a calculator to compare fees of the most popular UK fundraising platforms vs. owning your own form using GiveWP or BeaconCRM or similar, where you can keep the "fees covered" paid by donors and increase your charity's income.
As a charity, your organization needs integrations to streamline your day-to-day processes. You might already have an n8n or Zapier automation setup with your CRM but the techy who built it is not available. This tutorial is to help you hire the right Upwork expert.
As a charity, you need to know what works and what doesn't. This means you need to know which source and campaign brings in the most one-time and recurring donations.
I am surprised at how confusing setting up an "Integration User" in Salesforce is. I wrote this tutorial on how to do so, to make life easier for future me and future you.

Time & money saving projects I worked on for wildlife conservation
I created this WordPress plugin for embedding Beacon CRM donation forms with multi-currency support, automatic geo-location detection, and UTM tracking.
Beacon CRM does many things right, but their donation forms are rather basic and are missing many of the features GiveWP has. I created this n8n workflow to integrate GiveWP into Beacon so that when a donation is made the payments and subscriptions get automatically updated.
Manually importing Stripe payments to Salesforce NPSP is a pain. This workflow automates the process so that as soon as any payment succeeds or gets refunded, the Salesforce Opportunity would be closed accordingly. Also, if a Stripe subscription is cancelled, the Recurring Donation in SF gets updated according.
I created this WordPress plugin in order to get access to the full GiveWP donor, donation and subscription metadata. It exposes 5 new API endpoints and uses the built-in GiveWP API Authentication mechanism.
Wildlife Sightings GIS Data Mapping Web App
I built a web app to visualize barn owl sightings using Kepler.gl, an open-source geospatial analysis tool.
