Agency-trained.
Client-ready.

Senior web developer with 5+ years at a full-service digital agency, where I lead discovery sessions, mentor junior developers, and serve as the primary client trainer — running dedicated training sessions and recording tutorials so teams can confidently manage their own sites post-launch. I own projects end-to-end, from the first client call through DNS cutover.

Outside of work you'll find me at the gym, on the golf course, watching the NBA, or traveling and eating my way through somewhere new with my girlfriend and family.
