I’m a full stack web developer based in Colorado Springs, passionate about building clean, efficient, and user-focused websites and applications. With a strong background in both front-end and back-end development, I enjoy solving complex problems and turning ideas into intuitive digital experiences. Whether I’m working with modern frameworks or optimizing performance, my goal is always to create work that is thoughtful, scalable, and impactful.
When I’m not coding, you’ll find me behind a camera or off the beaten path exploring Colorado’s mountains. Photography allows me to capture the world the way I experience it — full of detail, movement, and story. That same creative eye influences my approach to development, where design, functionality, and purpose all come together. The outdoors keep me inspired, and that inspiration drives everything I build.

Wordpress & PHP
With a $150,000 budget, this project involved building a highly technical and scalable platform on top of WordPress, tailored for ease of content management by the client’s internal team. We implemented a blend of custom code and strategic plugins to enable detailed tracking of document views and downloads, providing valuable data-driven insights. A robust, searchable resource library was developed to efficiently organize and manage thousands of educational materials and documents. Additionally, we offloaded all media uploads to an Azure Container, reducing the site’s size from 150GB to just 150MB and dramatically improving performance and scalability.

The Cleverly Company website was built using React and Next.js, with smooth, dynamic animations powered by Framer Motion. Designed and developed with a budget of $80,000, the project focused on creating a high-performing, modern user experience. After launch, we integrated Payload CMS to streamline administrative workflows and simplify content management, ensuring long-term scalability and ease of maintenance.

This project was built from the ground up using Python and Django, incorporating a full range of modern features. One of my favorite aspects is the set of custom animations created with AnimeJS, which add a unique and engaging user experience. On the backend, I developed multiple models to support user accounts, posts, and media uploads, all integrated with a fully custom CMS for complete content management. To wrap up the build, I deployed the application through AWS S3, providing a cost-effective and reliable hosting solution that continues to perform flawlessly.

The Dakota West Credit Union website was built with WordPress and Oxygen Builder, chosen for its lightweight performance and user-friendly visual editing tools that make content updates easy for non-developers. We integrated React components, such as a dynamic loan calculator, to deliver seamless client-side functionality. Additionally, we implemented multiple custom post types to simplify management of job openings and current rates, ensuring both flexibility and long-term maintainability.
