A Decade in the Making

I created my first website over ten years ago. From there, I never stopped building. What started as a simple photography portfolio site, turned into me learning modern full-stack engineering. I now custom-code every webpage myself.

The Journey

The Path

I started my journey as professional photographer. I worked with commercial clients, obsessing over lighting and composition. But the camera wasn't my only tool.

Behind the scenes, I was constantly building. I didn't just want to take the photo; I wanted to control how the world saw it. While my peers were discussing lenses, I was reading documentation on web performance. It started as a necessity, but it became an obsession.

The Turn

The transition wasn't sudden; it was inevitable. I realized that my strongest skill wasn't just capturing an image, but engineering the way people experienced it.

I decided to trade the studio for the code editor, bringing that same photographer's eye: where every pixel and millisecond matters. I then turned that into building robust web systems.

How I Work

Longevity Over Trends

I have watched web trends come and go for a decade. I stick to what works. Clean code, solid architecture, and design that serves a purpose rather than following a fad.

Visual Logic

Most developers focus purely on functionality. My visual arts background means I see how users experience the site, not just how it functions under the hood.

Direct Accountability

You are hiring a person, not a faceless agency. I write the code, I answer the emails, and I am accountable for the result.

Where I Am Now

These days I am building data-driven applications like The Decay Index and designing business sites that balance clean aesthetics with solid performance.

My background gives me an edge. I understand the engineering that makes a site work and the visual design that makes people want to stay on it.
