About

A dev born on dial-up.

I built my first website at age 11 on a 56k dial-up connection. A friend introduced me to Dogz 4, a computer game where you'd raise and breed virtual dogs and cats. There happened to be a pretty large online community of people who had built their own websites to show off their pets and put others up for "adoption" by visitors. That's how my interest in web development was sparked!

Over 13 years of professional front-end experience later, I've shipped product pages, full rebrands, marketing campaigns, landing pages, and full websites for companies ranging from Corel and Parallels to local small businesses.

There's something so satisfying about taking a blank file and turning it into something real. After all this time, that feeling hasn't worn off once.

These days I'm freelancing and building personal projects, usually with too many tabs open and an iced coffee getting watered down nearby. Got something you want to bring to life?
