About me

I care about the part between “it works” and “this is actually good.”

I am a software engineer and team lead focused on modern web development. My work sits between frontend engineering, custom WordPress development and the practical realities of shipping for clients.

Story

The short version

I started by building websites hands-on and gradually moved deeper into custom engineering, integrations, performance and team leadership. That mix matters: I still like being close to the code, but I also think about scope, maintainability, communication and what happens after launch.

I have worked across custom WordPress themes, ACF-heavy content systems, React/Next.js applications, Shopify customizations, landing-page platforms and the odd “why is this only broken on iPhone?” emergency.

Principles

How I like to work.

01

Clarity over cleverness

Code should be easy to reason about six months later, not just impressive for six minutes.

02

Design is part of engineering

Spacing, hierarchy, feedback and motion are not polish at the end—they shape how the product feels.

03

Ship, learn, improve

The first version should be strong, but it should also leave room to evolve without a rewrite.

04

Own the outcome

If something is unclear, fragile or likely to fail later, surface it early and solve the actual problem.
