About
01
I build reliable digitalproducts across frontend,backend, and infrastructure.
I'm a software developer with over a decade of experience building and supporting software. I work primarily with Nuxt, Vue, NestJS, databases, authentication, and APIs, and I'm comfortable taking a project from the interface all the way through deployment. I also build open-source tools and share what I learn through practical coding content.

04
Open-source work, technical teaching, and product delivery in the same practice.
A lot of my work is public, from Nuxt component systems and starter templates to dashboards, reusable tooling, and coding education. I prefer to let the work speak for itself rather than fill the site with made-up testimonials, private client logos, or invented metrics.
Ways To Work
05
A few ways we can work together.
01
Build Something New
You have an idea, a set of requirements, or an existing plan and need someone who can turn it into a working product.
Deliverables
- Planning and technical direction
- Frontend, backend, and database development
- Deployment and production setup
End-to-end project
See project work02
Improve What You Have
Your product already exists, but it needs new features, a cleaner foundation, better performance, or help getting it back under control.
Deliverables
- Feature development
- Refactoring and modernization
- Performance and reliability improvements
Sprint or ongoing support
See how I work03
Technical Direction
You need an experienced second opinion on an architecture decision, an existing codebase, or the best way to approach what comes next.
Deliverables
- Architecture and code review
- Technical roadmap and trade-offs
- Implementation guidance

FAQ
07
I work on web applications, internal tools, dashboards, APIs, component systems, and other software that needs thoughtful frontend, backend, or database work. I can help with both new products and existing systems.
No. Nuxt and Vue are a big part of my frontend work, but I also work across backend development, APIs, authentication, databases, infrastructure, and deployment. I choose tools based on the problem rather than forcing every project into the same stack.
Yes. I can work alongside an existing team to deliver features, review architecture, modernize parts of a codebase, solve difficult technical problems, or help get a project over the finish line.
Absolutely. That might mean adding features, cleaning up technical debt, improving performance and accessibility, restructuring components, fixing data or API issues, or planning a larger modernization.
Yes. I work across APIs, authentication, database design, third-party integrations, server configuration, and production deployments. I'm comfortable working beyond the frontend when a project needs it.
Yes. I can stay involved after launch for maintenance, bug fixes, feature development, infrastructure updates, and general technical support when the project calls for it.
Yes. I work remotely with clients and teams, whether that means owning a project independently or collaborating closely with an existing product or engineering team.
A short description of what you're building, where the project currently stands, and what you need help with is enough to start. If there's an existing codebase, sharing the stack and any current challenges is helpful too.
