Who I Am

I am a technical lead and full-stack developer. I guide a small team while staying hands-on across custom web solutions, internal business systems, and deployment — focused on maintainable work that solves real operational needs.

  • Works as a technical lead and full-stack developer in a lean startup.
  • Guides a small team while staying hands-on in day-to-day delivery.
  • Builds websites, internal business systems, and deployment workflows.
  • Graduated summa cum laude and applies that same consistency to delivery.

What I Focus On

My day-to-day centers on full-stack development, custom WordPress, and the practical technical decisions that keep projects stable, shippable, and easy to maintain.
