Why work with me

Senior experience, as part of your team

I work directly with founders, marketing teams, and other agencies who need a reliable technical partner they can trust.

25+ years of experience

Building for the web since 1999. I've shipped through every era of the modern web — from early WordPress to AI-native apps — and I bring that depth to every project.

Senior-led, hands-on

No account managers, no junior teams, no handoffs. You brief me directly and I do the work — from code and architecture to SEO and performance.

Fast, focused delivery

I scope tightly, communicate clearly, and move quickly. Most projects start within 48 hours and stay on track without unnecessary process.

Clear, honest communication

I translate technical decisions into plain language, flag risks early, and keep you informed so there are no surprises at launch.
