I build things and make them look good. Making things easy to use, maintainable for myself & peers, while keeping things performing well is my happy place.

Need help with building and maintaining an enterprise level software? Or with a performance and SEO optimized website? I have you covered. WordPress, JAMStack, VueJS, React, HTML, CSS, PHP, Ruby, Golang, and various databases? My brain and fingertips know what to do.

Software and websites deliver value and serve their purpose. But if it isn’t built to scale and be maintained for years to come, then you’re throwing away time, money and your emotional well-being. Building with the intent that it will serve its purpose, but will support the business is integral to how I work.

Iolite is a simple app that safely and securely aggregates your credit card transactions and very easily guides you into how your purchases should be categorized, all based off of your own data. It aims to bring insight into your finances without getting in your way.
