About

Frontend focused full-stack developer & designer

I started experimenting with web design in the early 2000s during the <table> layout era. However, at the time, I found myself gravitating toward the design side of things, eventually becoming a graphic and logo designer - still building basic websites on the side for clients and for fun.

But, as web technology and tools evolved, I found myself gravitating back to the development side of things. I increasingly wanted to be able to build more complex, dynamic web apps. So I learned and made the shift to full-stack development. These days I'm a full-time web developer working across the entire stack with a focus on front-end technologies like React, SvelteKit, and TypeScript.
