My story.

I’m a Web Developer with over a decade of experience building digital products for U.S. EdTech companies like Curriki, CEdge and Hansavedas. I work across WordPress, LearnDash, LearnPress, BuddyBoss and Elementor, with custom PHP and JavaScript when a project needs more than a plugin can offer.

I also bring a strong UI/UX background, so the sites I build are not only fast and reliable, but intuitive to use. AI tools like Claude, Claude Code, Codex and Gemini are part of my daily workflow now too, from scaffolding code to speeding up iteration, which means I can move faster without cutting corners.

I like owning a project end to end, from the first Figma wireframe to a live, high-performing site. If you're building from scratch or improving something that already exists, I'm glad to help.

Experience.

How I work.

01

End to end

From the first Figma wireframe to a live, high-performing site, I own the whole project.

02

Designer’s eye, developer’s discipline

Sites that are fast and reliable, but also intuitive and engaging to use.

03

Faster, without cutting corners

AI tools speed up scaffolding and iteration, so more time goes into the details that matter.
