I’m a multidisciplinary developer, designer, and digital strategist with a passion for building tools that empower creators, small businesses, and indie brands. My career blends full-stack web development, UI/UX design, branding, and technical problem-solving to help others launch, grow, and thrive online.

I build custom platforms and systems using WordPress, Ghost, Statamic, and other CMS frameworks, as well as fully bespoke solutions from the ground up. From plugin architecture to backend automation, I love turning complex workflows into intuitive, efficient digital experiences.

But my work doesn’t stop at development. I’ve designed complete brand identities, merch collections, and print campaigns for creators, nonprofits, and small companies. I also help clients with market research, ad strategy, and platform performance — ensuring their tools don’t just look good, but actually work and convert.

Some of my favorite projects include:

• Developing custom POS systems for food vendors and merch sales (like IRIE POS)
• Creating brand and site ecosystems for artists like VictoryInControl (V.I.C.)
• Building self-hosted software platforms like Huduzu, FSXX, CodeWished, Driver Watchdog, and RedBeacon
• Architecting flexible plugins for licensing, quoting, feedback, and author platforms

I approach every project with clarity, creativity, and care. If you need someone who can build your idea from design to deployment — or rebuild what you’ve outgrown — I’d love to work with you.
