I build custom WordPress sites, plugins, and Gutenberg blocks for businesses and organizations.
I have experience leading teams in turning out products consistently on time, which meet or exceed expectations and are very performant. It's something I have a passion for and to which my temperament is well-suited. I enjoy building tools that enable us to maximize the impact of our labor while reducing the risk and impact of errors. I enjoy exploring technical strategies for productivity, including low-code, automation, AI, and well-chosen components. I enjoy thoughtful and elegant design, which is the most critical and rewarding strategy.

- ⚡️ I have a research degree in auto/biography and a (I would say) healthy obsession with the life and times of Benjamin Franklin, Colonial America & Georgian England, and national mythology.
- I studied, worked, and lived in the UK off and on for 7 years and loved it.
- When I was just out of high school I learned Flash working at a media agency in Brussels, Belgium.
I'm open to discussing a website project with you.
