About Me

I started teaching myself how to code in 2016 and quickly realized I had a passion for building things. For the past 8 years, I've been fortunate to build different types of websites for small businesses, ecommerce companies, public sector organizations, fortune 500 corporations, enterprise banking and a celebrity.

Lately I've been focused on building react-based products. I always ensure my frontend is built to match pixel-perfect designs, provides an intuitive user experience and meets accessibility standards. On the backend, creating systems with scale, security and performance while being cost-effective are top priorities for me. I also love helping less experienced developers learn and build their skills.

When I'm not coding, I'm usually gaming, cooking up something delicious or going for walks.

Dinner Time Premium

A web application developed using the MEAN stack for a game server I ran on Garry's Mod. Featuring forums, user profiles, news, support tickets, feedback, notifications and more.

Beyond a typical web app, it integrated notifications with the game server through a custom LUA addon I developed, allowing users to receive notifications both on the web app and in-game.
