One person.
Both sides.

I'm a full stack developer who also designs — and always have been. That rare loop closes faster, costs less, and produces better work. Now with AI, it operates at a scale that simply wasn't possible before.

Multiplied by intelligence

Both sides of
every project.

Most creative professionals pick a lane — they're either a designer who dabbles in code, or a developer who defers to design. I've never operated that way. From the beginning, I did both: conceiving the visual experience in Photoshop and Illustrator, then hand-coding that design into a functioning website from scratch. No handoff. No translation loss. No "that's not what I meant."

That discipline — owning the full creative and technical arc of a project — is what defines my work. I understand proportion, typography, and visual hierarchy the same way I understand state management, API architecture, and database design. These aren't separate skills. In my hands, they're a single, unified process.

Today, that process has been supercharged. AI agents and intelligent tooling have removed the friction from every phase of production. What once required a full team — concepting, designing, developing, iterating, shipping — I can now orchestrate with a precision and speed that simply didn't exist before. The hybrid practitioner has become something new: a one-person studio with enterprise-level output.

The superpower

Design fluency + engineering depth + AI command = a creative force that doesn't wait, doesn't translate, and doesn't compromise.

Services

01
Custom Web Development

Websites built from the ground up — no templates, no shortcuts. Every line of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript crafted with intention for performance, accessibility, and longevity.

02
Full Stack Engineering

End-to-end application development using React, Next.js, PHP, and modern API architecture. I connect the front door to the back-end so everything works as one coherent system.

03
Platform Customization

Deep customization of WordPress, Shopify, and Squarespace beyond what themes allow — custom plugins, theme development, API integrations, and bespoke functionality.

04
AI Systems & Automation

Intelligent workflows, AI-integrated pipelines, and custom tools that put machine intelligence to work for your business — built to run, scale, and sell.

05
Creative Direction & UI

The hybrid advantage: I bring a designer's eye to every technical decision. Interfaces that don't just function beautifully — they feel inevitable.

06
Strategy & Consultation

Not sure what you actually need? Let's map it. I help businesses make smart decisions about their digital infrastructure, tech stack, and AI readiness.

No handoffs. No gaps.
Just momentum.

Most projects stall in the space between disciplines — between the designer's vision and the developer's interpretation. I eliminate that space entirely. One brain, both sides, start to finish.

01 · Conceive
Vision & strategy

Brief, discovery, information architecture, and creative direction — all informed by technical reality from day one.

02 · Design
Visual craft

UI, layout, typography, and brand expression. Stills, motion, video — no creative team dependency, no waiting on assets.

03 · Build
Engineering

Front to back — custom code, platform integration, APIs, infrastructure. The design becomes the product, exactly as intended.

04 · Amplify
AI & automation

AI agents, intelligent workflows, and automated systems layer on top — turning a finished product into a scalable, self-improving machine.

Design × Dev × AI
= something new.

For most practitioners, AI is an add-on. For me, it's the natural extension of a workflow that was already unusually unified. Because I fully understand both design and development — not one or the other — I can direct AI agents with the precision of an expert in both disciplines simultaneously.

The result isn't just faster work. It's a fundamentally different kind of output: richer, more considered, more adaptive — produced at a pace and scale no traditional team structure can match.

Let's build something
AI-directed creative production I prompt, direct, and refine AI outputs the way a senior creative director would — because I understand what "correct" looks like on both sides of the brief.
Custom internal tooling Built a Node.js drag-and-drop system that puts a full component library into the hands of non-technical authors — AI meeting design systems meeting developer infrastructure.
Workflow automation & agents From briefing to QA to deployment, I build the agents that run my processes — and I build them for clients who need the same leverage.
Productized AI systems Tools and systems designed to be packaged, licensed, and sold — turning a workflow into a product and recurring revenue.

Career Arc

Built during every era.

Late 1990s — Internet Boom
Designed in Photoshop. Then built it in code.

Entered the industry at the ground floor of the commercial web — conceiving visual designs in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, then hand-coding every pixel into functioning websites from scratch. No separation between creator and builder. That loop has defined every project since.

2000s — The Professional Years
Full stack maturity across every platform

Grew into a seasoned full stack engineer while maintaining the designer's eye — mastering front-end craft, back-end architecture, CMS platforms, and e-commerce across agencies, publishing, and digital product work.

2010s — The Hybrid Advantage
Where tech meets design, officially

Became recognized as the rare practitioner who speaks fluent design and fluent code — handling still and video asset editing without the creative team, concepting and building in the same breath. The handoff gap others budget time for simply doesn't exist.

Present — Agency Lead & AI Era
Lead developer, toolmaker, AI architect

Currently Lead Developer and Development PM at a prominent marketing agency — building web components, authoring workflows, managing AWS and WPEngine infrastructure, and developing custom AI-powered internal tools. The same hybrid instinct, now operating at machine speed.

One call closes
the whole loop.

Design, development, and AI — in one engagement, with one point of contact, and none of the overhead. If you're ready to move faster and build smarter, let's talk.
