I thrive in environments where technical ability directly drives business growth. Over the years, I've:
- Built software serving millions of users with high uptime standards
- Led teams of developers, mentoring and streamlining workflows
- Open-sourced tools and contributed to community-driven projects
- Formed lasting partnerships with clients and businesses
- Consistently delivered solutions that are scalable, maintainable, and robust
At 18, I was homeless. By 21, I had worked my way into a management role at a healthcare facility. While that role offered stability, I realized I wanted a career where growth was tied to skills and creativity, not hierarchy or location. That realization led me to web development—an industry where your work speaks for itself and opportunity is limitless.
I taught myself HTML and CSS, then expanded into PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript to meet real-world client needs. Step by step, I built full web applications, responsive websites, and mobile-friendly platforms, constantly pushing my limits.
In 2014, with a growing family, I transitioned from freelancing to joining a startup, where I mastered Agile workflows, focused on designing resilient, scalable architectures, implementing secure and observable APIs, and leading engineering teams through complex product and infrastructure builds.
Today, whether you're a small business owner, startup founder, or fellow techie looking for a reliable partner—you'll find I bring both the technical chops and the mindset it takes to build and sustain real-world solutions.
