About Me

Passionate developer who loves building beautiful, functional products. I turn ideas into reality through clean code and thoughtful design.

The Journey

Started in late 2019 modding Call of Duty: World at War — learning GSC scripting, dabbling in level design, and experimenting with game engines like Godot, Unity, and Unreal. Even tried my hand at Substance Painter/Designer.

Eventually moved from general modding to building tools with Python and PySide6/Qt Designer. Spent nearly 3 years mastering that stack before pivoting to the cloud — now fully focused on Vue.js and Cloudflare's edge platform for building web apps.

I'm obsessed with UI/UX, minimal design, and performance. Spent years in "dev mode" iterating through countless platforms, services, databases, and languages to find the path of least resistance — so I can leverage my architecting and pattern-recognition skills with AI to build frictionless, easy-onboarding web apps that work on all devices from day one.

Now that I've solved the backend, deployment, failover, backups, global coverage, and scalability pain points, my final frontier is frontend UI. Currently working on a Qt Designer-inspired UI design system for Vue that separates layout from styling. Been in the winding back roads for a long time — finally hit the open straight, ready to ship.
