About Me

Full Stack Developer, Designer, and Open Source Enthusiast

Who I Am

I'm a passionate full-stack developer with over 22 years of experience creating beautiful, functional, and accessible web experiences. Based in Oceanside, CA, I've worked with startups, agencies, and enterprise companies to bring digital products to life.

My journey started with a curiosity about how websites work, which led me down the rabbit hole of web development. Today, I specialize in modern JavaScript frameworks, particularly React and Next.js, while maintaining a strong foundation in backend technologies like Rust and TypeScript.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me contributing to open source projects, writing technical articles, or exploring the latest web technologies. I believe in building inclusive, performant, and maintainable software that makes a positive impact.
