Fast, accessible websites for small businesses. Full-stack engineer by day.
I build websites for small businesses: fast, accessible sites that are easy to find and easy to use, and I look after them once they're live.
By day I'm a contract full-stack engineer at Allure Lighting, building a dealer portal in Nuxt and TypeScript.
Outside of coding, I'm known as a car guy, investor, and a very handsome man (thanks, Mom).
