Expertise and Services
SEO & Technical Optimization
I implement technical SEO best practices, optimize Core Web Vitals, and improve search visibility using tools like Semrush, Ahrefs, and Google Search Console. My strategies are data-driven and focused on long-term results.
Performance & Usability
I optimize websites for speed, usability, and conversions. From image compression and lazy loading to deferring non-critical assets, I make your site load fast and work flawlessly across devices—boosting engagement and retention.
Accessibility (WCAG Compliance)
I follow WCAG guidelines to ensure your website is accessible to all users, including those using assistive technologies. My accessibility audits and remediation plans help you stay compliant and create inclusive digital experiences.
Design System & UI Architecture
I create scalable, component-based design systems to maintain visual consistency and simplify future updates. This ensures your UI is efficient to build, easy to expand, and tailored for performance and accessibility.
Custom WordPress Development
I design and develop custom WordPress themes with flexible content structures using ACF and the WordPress API. Whether you need a simple site or a more advanced CMS solution, I build clean, easy-to-manage websites.
Selected Work
I've had the opportunity to work with well-known brands, both through agencies and as a freelancer. While some of that work is under NDA or just too old, the successes and failures from these experiences have shaped my approach to delivering high-quality results. I'm proud of the trust my clients place in me, and I bring that same level of care to every project I take on.
Your creative partner in web development and design.
I'm an avid traveler who's lived in three different countries, always seeking new experiences and adventures. When I’m not working, you can find me exploring the city or hiking with my Boston Terrier sidekick. I’m a Porsche enthusiast, a former metal guitarist turned deep house DJ, and I love to cook (and eat). Exercise is a big part of my life, balancing out my passion for good food. Whether it's a new coding challenge or a scenic hike, I’m always up for the journey.
When you're faced with tight deadlines or unexpected spikes in workload, I'm here to help you maintain your agency's reputation for excellence. I'm committed to delivering high-quality work on time and within budget.
