About Me

Building a future in software, one thoughtful project at a time.

My Goal

I want to build software and apps that reduce administrative work and give people more time for the work they care about. Whether that means helping a real estate agent spend less time on marketing and paperwork, or helping a business owner track expenses and profit more easily, my goal is to create practical tools that support their workflow instead of adding to it. When technology handles more of the repetitive work, people have more time for their clients, their craft, and what matters most outside of work.

My Story

Where I’ve been and where I’m going.

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Information Technologies, concentrating in Software Development, from Southern New Hampshire University. I enjoy building simple, responsive landing pages with HTML, Tailwind CSS, and JavaScript, and I’m currently expanding my skills by learning iOS development.

My professional background is in healthcare administration, and I now work for a SaaS company that provides software for medical spas. That experience has shown me how thoughtful technology can simplify everyday work and create better experiences for both businesses and the people they serve.

Away from work, I’m a husband and father of four. I enjoy spending time with my family, coding, boxing, and finding better ways to learn. Life is also kept lively by our three dogs: two Dobermans and a pocket bully.

Education & Certifications

Learning backed by real credentials.

These Meta courses helped strengthen my foundation in frontend development, JavaScript, and version control.

How I Build

What is AI-assisted engineering?

AI-assisted engineering uses AI to speed up research, implementation, and repetitive work while keeping technical decisions and responsibility with the developer. I still write code myself because creating and experimenting is part of the fun. I use AI where it helps me move faster, then review the changes, trace how each feature connects, and test the result before accepting it into a project.

01 · Understand

Trace the connections

I follow how the HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and backend pieces work together.

02 · Review

Inspect the changes

I review generated code for readability, security, and whether it solves the right problem.

03 · Test

Try it, break it, improve it

I test normal behavior and edge cases, then fix what does not work as expected.

04 · Own

Stay responsible

The final code and product are my responsibility, no matter which tools helped create them.
