I build clean, usable web applications and enjoy understanding how systems work end-to-end — from the browser to the server. Self-taught through hands-on projects, with a practical background in Linux, Docker, and self-hosted environments.

My background is in automotive repair — a trade built on diagnosing problems methodically, following established processes, and knowing when something doesn't look right. Those instincts carry over pretty directly into software.

I started teaching myself web development during lockdown and kept going. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript first. Then Linux, Docker, and self-hosted services as curiosity pulled me further into how things work under the hood.

I like building things that are useful and maintainable — not overengineered, just solid. Currently working on expanding into React and full stack development through hands-on projects.
