Hello. This is where I keep things.

I'm Evan. Dallas is where my things are, though I'm somewhere else often enough that it feels like a technicality. I've spent twenty years being the person who asks what a word in the database actually means.

I believe most engineering disagreements are vocabulary disagreements in disguise, that the best architecture diagram is the one someone can redraw from memory, and that a system you cannot explain to the operations team is not finished.

Outside work: yoga, pickleball, swimming, and working out where to go next.

What I'm building

TravelCanvas

An itinerary platform for people who travel and the people who plan it for them, at onecanvas.travel. Started in February 2026 on a trip through Southeast Asia, which is roughly the most on-brand possible origin for it.

  • The advisor view of a trip itinerary: a timeline of days with a confirmed San Francisco to Paris flight card, under tabs for map, proposals, travel party and budget.
  • The import screen with four sources — forward email, pasted text, file upload, file export — and a personal forwarding address for booking confirmations.
  • A draft trip in the advisor app with a publish readiness card: publishing will make the itinerary visible to the travel party and email invitations to three guests.
