About

Fullstack Engineer with a Design Background

I build accessible, pixel-perfect digital experiences for startups that need to make a powerful first impression. My work lies at the intersection of design and engineering.

I got into this because I was frustrated with the traditional agency model. Designers hand off to developers, things get lost in translation, timelines balloon, and the final product never quite matches the vision. I realized I could do both - and do it better.

Now I work exclusively with funded startups who understand the value of a cohesive, high-quality web presence. My clients get agency-level work without the agency-level overhead, timeline, or communication friction.

How I Work

Quality Over Quantity

I take on a limited number of projects each month. This ensures every client gets my full attention and the quality they deserve.

Direct Communication

No account managers or middlemen. You work directly with me from day one, which means faster decisions and better outcomes.

Transparent Pricing

No surprise invoices. We agree on scope and price upfront, and I stick to it. If scope changes, we talk about it before any work happens.

Speed Without Sacrifice

Because I handle both design and development, I can move fast without the usual handoff delays - without cutting corners on quality.
