Origin Story
My journey started in software — building apps, wrangling APIs, and debugging the cursed depths of legacy codebases. Along the way I picked up design skills and a knack for turning messy requirements into clean, maintainable code.
Now I help teams and businesses bring their ideas to life on the web. Whether it's a greenfield app or a rescue mission on a crumbling codebase, I bring the right tools and a battle-tested process to every project.

Skill Tree
Every adventurer needs the right gear. Here's what I bring to the party.
From pixel-perfect UIs to complex interactive experiences, I build frontends that are fast, accessible, and a joy to use. React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind — the whole arsenal.
Need an API? A database? Auth? I architect full-stack applications with clean separation of concerns, so your app scales without turning into a dungeon crawler.
I create reusable component libraries and design systems that keep your UI consistent and your team productive. Figma to code, every time.

Battle Plan
They fail because nobody agreed on what to build. Requirements were a napkin sketch. The tech stack was chosen by hype, not fit. And by month three, everyone's lost in the fog of war.
I've been in those dungeons. After years of building web apps across agtech, SaaS, and startups, I've learned that the real magic isn't in the framework — it's in the process.
