CLIENT WORK

Custom tattoo studio in Simpsonville, SC. A moody, brand-first site - services, artist gallery, and booking contact - built to match the ink.
Albany, GA's all-in-one entertainment venue - axe throwing, rage room, splatter paint, and parties. Loud, colorful, and pointed straight at the Book Now button.
Birthday rewards platform for business owners - send birthday gifts, deals, and coupons to customers automatically. The product lives behind the sign-in; this is its front door.

ABOUT
I’ve spent years as a business owner and CTO, so I don’t just think in tickets and features. I care about profitability, operations, and giving teams tools that make their day easier - not more complicated.
Most comfortable in Laravel/PHP on the backend and React/Next.js on the frontend, with Ruby in production on my résumé and Unity and Solana in the lab. I learn by building small, weird things - then leveling them up into real tools.
