Professional Summary
I’m a multi-disciplinary creative technologist with 20+ years of experience spanning design, web development, and photography. I’ve always been a self-starter and self-taught, viewing my career as a continuous loop of learning and action rather than just a series of roles.
I specialize in the WordPress ecosystem (Astra, Elementor, WooCommerce) and building durable, static-first systems on Cloudflare. For me, it’s about practicality, reliability, and building things that last—the right way.
