I'm a professionally licensed civil engineer and a self-taught programmer. I run a coastal engineering firm and build software for the people who restore shorelines, streams, and wetlands, because I'm one of them.

I'm Seth. I earned my professional engineering license designing the kind of infrastructure that has to survive storms: living shorelines, restored streams, treatment wetlands, and stormwater systems across the Chesapeake Bay. That work is my day job at Sustainable Science, a coastal and ecological engineering firm.

Somewhere along the way I taught myself to program, mostly because the tools I wanted didn't exist. Now I build them. A marketplace so contractors can trade the dirt they'd otherwise haul to a dump. A daily watch on procurement portals so restoration firms never miss a bid. A Civil 3D plugin that puts real coastal analysis inside the software engineers already use.

The common thread is simple: I like building things, and I like it most when the thing is useful to the people doing hard, physical work in the field. Engineer by license, programmer by obsession, builder by default.

Four things in orbit right now.

One firm that pays the bills and three products I'm building for the restoration industry. Every card opens the live site in a new tab.

Want to collaborate on something, or have an idea in mind?

I'd love to hear about it. Restoration work, a product that should exist, a partnership, or just a question about how I built one of these. Every message lands in my inbox and I reply to the real ones.
