We have you covered with Revitalization Technology.
I am a linguistic anthropologist by training and a computer programmer by trade. I have more than 12 years of experience working with Indigenous, Native American and First Nations communities in pursuit of language revitalization.
I am passionate about the intersection of language revitalization and accessible technology.
I firmly believe that Indigenous communities should not only fully own their technologies but also feel empowered to maintain their digital projects long term.
To that end, I offer a variety of services design for you to get the most out of your language technology project!

Sometimes, you just need something done.
A myriad of tasks could fall into this category. Here are some examples!

Note: While I am happy to answer any inquiry, I do not undertake work on Indigneous languages that has not been officially approved by a speaker community in some way.
