About

20+ years creating and building

I love solving a puzzle. The drive to see how the pieces fit together is my essential skill. I bring this curiosity to every website, marketing campaign, or new business venture I work on. I'm a problem solver first and a developer second.

I'm proficient with HTML / Typescript / CSS and reach for Craft CMS and PHP for server-side needs. Frameworks? I've been through many of them. Working with AI coding tools is my current obsession. Claude and I are on a first name basis right now.

Below are some projects I've selected to show the types of things I've done. There's much more in my archives. If you're looking for something specific, please ask. If you like what you see, let’s make something.
