About

From curious kid to full-stack creator

It started at 16 when I built my first webpage using nothing but a YouTube tutorial and a cracked copy of Dreamweaver. That spark never left. Over the next decade, I turned a self-taught obsession into a professional craft.

I studied Computer Science, but most of what I know came from building things — real projects, real clients, real deadlines. I've shipped 120+ websites and apps across SaaS, e-commerce, fintech, and healthcare verticals.

How I think about the work I do

Speed without compromise

Fast doesn't mean careless. I ship quickly because I plan well — clear scope, tight iterations, and no unnecessary meetings.

Ownership over excuses

I take full accountability for every project I accept. If something isn't right, I fix it — not because I have to, but because I care about the outcome.

Design for real people

Every decision I make is grounded in how real humans will use the product — not what looks best in a Dribbble shot.

Always be learning

The web moves fast. I invest time every week in keeping my skills sharp — new frameworks, design trends, and emerging patterns.
