About

Independent web developer, based in Kansas City.

I build web applications, software, storefronts, and PHP backends for businesses, brands, and product teams. The work is solo by design — you talk to the person writing the code.

Background

My focus is on sites and tools that hold up under real conditions: fast on a phone over LTE, accessible to people who use a keyboard or screen reader, and maintainable by the team that owns them after I am gone.

I am based in Kansas City and work remote with clients anywhere in the continental US. Engagements are scoped honestly: a free, quick consultation, a written estimate, and clear handoff at the end.

How I work

  • Plain language over jargon, on calls and in code.
  • Fewer dependencies, fewer abstractions, fewer surprises.
  • Honest estimates with a defined scope. No padded retainers.
  • Production-grade defaults: tests, types, accessibility, performance.

Stack

Full-stack across multiple environments. PHP (Laravel or Symfony) is the preferred backend, but the day rarely sits in one stack.
