Your Friendly Wasteland
Web Developer.

Director of Web Development AI-Enabled Architect

I don't just build websites; I build blazing-fast, revenue-generating marketing engines and an efficient, productive, growing team of developers.

The Operator
Behind the Code

With over 15 years of professional experience building websites and 11 leading web development at WebMechanix and Level Agency, I operate on a simple philosophy: We are partners, not vendors.

I'm a vault-dwelling coder who's just as comfortable in a client strategy meeting as I am neck deep in code. I speak both languages—stakeholder and engineer—and that bridge is where the best work happens. I've sold hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of websites.

My drive is tempered by a strict concern for code accuracy, scale, and performance. I don't ship code I wouldn't be proud to put my name on.

Beyond the terminal, my proudest achievement is building and managing a dev team of 13 here at Level. I'm passionate about mentoring developers at every level—from junior recruits running their first deployment to senior engineers architecting complex systems. A strong team doesn't happen by accident; it takes deliberate coaching, clear communication, and a culture where everyone ships with confidence.

Fun fact: Before leading dev teams, my background was in film, video editing, and graphic design—I even designed the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair logo.

I am an intense, results-oriented self-starter whose strong drive and sense of urgency are balanced by a strict concern for the accuracy and quality of my work.

How I Operate

Speed is Revenue

A fast site is a converting site. I engineer for Core Web Vitals, targeting LCP < 2.5s and a PageSpeed score that makes competitors uncomfortable.

Performance

Accessibility as a Standard

WCAG AA compliance isn't an add-on; it's just the right thing to do. Inclusive design is better design, period.

Agentic Workflows

I champion the transition from manual coders to stewards of AI, heavily leveraging Claude, MCPs, and automated CI/CD pipelines to do more, faster.

AI-Enabled

The Can-Do Attitude

Anything is possible given enough time and money. I don't deal in roadblocks— I deal in timelines and requirements.
