I'm currently a Full stack engineer at Newsteam, where I build and maintain international news publications. I focus on developing and growing the newsteam websites and capabilities.

I'm passionate about many creative pursuits, including gaming, business, and obviously, coding. This combination of interests is what ultimately led me to my current role in building websites.

I love building for the web from something as simple as a single HTML file – to large e-commerce applications. The web is incredible. Anyone can become a developer, writer, or creator – and no one has to ask for permission. You can just build.

Outside of work, I build and develop personal e-commerce projects. I also do UI/UX design, company development, and AD ops.
