Profile

I’m a curious web developer who enjoys building clean, responsive, user-focused web experiences; at work I build WordPress sites with PHP and JavaScript. I have also worked full stack with React (Next.js), Node.js, Express and MongoDB, and I like exploring how AI tools can make real products better.
