Strategic initiativesSystemsConvening operations

Designed the infrastructure behind Blueprint NC's Midterm Convergence — a statewide convening that brought together nearly 180 participants representing 90 democracy organizations from across North Carolina to prepare for the election and coordinate poll presence.

The Idea

Reusable infrastructure — built once, meant to outlast this single convening — rather than a one-off event build.

The Problem

A convening at this scale needed registration, data, payments, communications, and on-site coordination to work as one system, not eight separate tools bolted together.

What I Built

Reusable infrastructure across registration, CRM/data, payments, communications, event technology, participant experience, and internal coordination.

How I Built It

Built and maintained a live internal tracking system (registration dashboard, region/role/travel data cross-checked against the working spreadsheets) so the team could coordinate in real time rather than reconcile after the fact.
