From wrestling with 90s-era HTML and quirky web browsers, to building exceptional, fast websites for businesses that get found and turn visitors into customers, to leading product engineering and full-stack development for startups in Video on Demand, Finance, and CareTech — I’ve thrived as a web designer, developer, and digital marketer for 25+ years.

I’m passionate about building things and solving problems that challenge what I thought I was capable of. If it solves an interesting problem, makes a meaningful impact, and is a delight to use by the real people on the other side of the screen — I want to be part of it.

The web has reinvented itself many times since I started — and I’ve loved adapting and growing with every wave. Modern frontend tools like Vue and React, trusted frameworks like Ruby on Rails, languages from Ruby to TypeScript to Rust, and AI-enhanced coding tools and workflows have become essential parts of my toolbox.

Helping others level up through sharing, teaching, and mentoring has been part of who I am since I started publishing tutorials in the early 2000s. Need help with something? Feel free to ask.

Have a project in mind? I’d love to talk with you! Book a free strategy call to see if we’re a good fit.
