𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿. I am a University of Michigan trained Mechanical Engineer with over 8 years of hands on experience at two of the largest manufacturers in their industries including The Dow Chemical Company where I started up and operated a $40M reactor system and received the 4 Carat Award, the highest engineering honor at Dow. That background shaped how I approach software. Every project gets the same level of systems thinking, clean documentation and structured delivery that industrial engineering demands. For the past 14 years I have been building on WordPress and the web full time, managing projects from $1,000 to $500,000 across healthcare, real estate, ecommerce and SaaS.

𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Core Web Vitals optimization, PageSpeed scores of 90 and above, caching, CDN setup and image optimization built into the foundation of every project rather than added on at the end. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸: 100% Job Success Score across 93 completed projects and over $100,000 earned on Upwork. Several clients have stayed with me for years, coming back for new pages, new features and ongoing maintenance rather than hiring someone new each time. That's not an accident. The work is clean, the communication is clear and delivery is on time. If something needs to be fixed it gets fixed without drama. If you need someone who understands your business goals, can handle complex builds end to end and delivers work that holds up over time, send a message and we can talk through what you need.
