Senior🎓
Top SchoolDwayne Neckles is a multimedia journalist and front-end developer with a decade of experience turning complex systemic issues into visually driven campaigns that prompt real-world action.

His engineering work includes open-source tooling—like a VS Code GraphQL extension and schema visualizer—showing he bridges storytelling and developer tooling to accelerate production. A Brooklyn-based creator with a background in production design and UX engineering, he blends data-driven distribution strategy with narrative-first visuals to mobilize audiences and support legal advocacy.
