Prayerful Problem Solver -- Freelance Virtual Ministry Assistant & Web Developer -- Self-Taught Developer
I help small-to-mid-sized churches navigate technology with confidence — website development, workflow consulting, and virtual administrative support. When I'm not serving churches, I'm building open-source tools for the yarn craft community, backed by 30+ years of hands-on crochet experience.
Yarn Craft Terminology Database -- The first comprehensive, open, API-accessible database of yarn craft terminology. Starting from a crochet foundation with 265+ terms and expanding across all fiber arts disciplines — knitting, weaving, embroidery, and more. Structured data with US/UK translations, categories, quiz system, and educational tools.
- 265+ terms with rich data (difficulty, tags, learning time, best use cases)
- US & UK terminology translations + community slang
- Quiz system with 50+ auto-generated questions
- Free public API served via GitHub CDN
- Community-driven data maintained through Google Sheets pipeline
Church Website Development -- Platform-agnostic website builds for churches of all sizes, with a focus on training teams for independence rather than dependency. Currently offering services through this4dani.com.
