About
I've been a full-stack web developer for many years, with a special passion for front-end development. My goal is to create the best possible user experiences. I've been writing code since the MySpace days (yes, I've been around that long!), and I'm always learning new technologies and best practices to keep my skills sharp.
When I'm not immersed in a web project, I love spending time with my family. I have a wonderful wife and three beautiful daughters who keep me busy, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm also an avid biker and love exploring new places on two wheels.
If you're looking for an experienced front-end developer focused on creating clean, efficient, and accessible code, I'd love to connect. Feel free to reach out!
