I build fast, expressive web experiences.

I'm a frontend-focused developer with 5+ years in web development, now building modern web experiences with Next.js and React. I care about interfaces that load quickly, feel intuitive, and have just enough personality to be memorable. With GSAP, I turn motion into part of the experience—not decoration added at the end.

A huge part of my 5+ years in web development has been spent with PHP and WordPress, including custom themes, plugins, and content experiences. That depth gives me a practical backend and CMS foundation—and lets me understand the full journey from content and data to the experience in the browser.

const focus = {
  frontend: ["Next.js", "React"],
  motion: "GSAP",
  backend: "PHP",
  cms: "WordPress",
  goal: "fast, useful, memorable experiences",
};
