A Decade in the Making

I wrote my first line of code over ten years ago. It was a simple HTML site built to display my photography. It was basic, but it sparked a curiosity that never went away.

The Journey

The Path

Life pulled me into professional photography for years. I worked with commercial clients and spent my days obsessed with lighting and composition. But the camera was not my only tool. Behind the scenes, I was constantly building. I built my own portfolios. Then I built sites for colleagues. Then for local businesses. While my peers were discussing lenses, I was reading documentation on web performance. It started as a necessity, but it became an obsession. I found myself more excited about the architecture of the gallery than the images inside it.

The Turn

The transition was not sudden. It was the result of years of refining my approach to the web. I realized that my strongest skill was not just capturing an image, but engineering the way people experienced it. I decided to stop treating development as a side project and pursue it full-time. I traded the studio for the code editor. I brought that same photographer's eye for detail, where every pixel matters, 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.
