I create custom
digital experiences
from scratch
Being a perfectionist, i am obsessed with UI and enamored by the evolution of Front-End Development and it's impact on the end-user in terms of experience. If left unattended, my twisted mind will keep coding that tiny little pixel at that part of the website that nobody looks, until it is exactly where i want it to be. I possess a variety of skills but i prefer the mind numbing thrill of creating digital experiences from scratch by hand written code.

Lets talk skills
I began my journey when the 5 1⁄4" floppy disk was the standard means of data storage. Through a course of over two decades, i have seen trends and methodologies rise and fade into oblivion, and in an ever-changing cyber universe, i never stopped to observe, learn, experiment, create.
I write code exclusively by hand, which ultimately means that i don't actually use frameworks. Every single line is optimized, without losing sight of the end result. I rarely use React, Angular and Vue.js to accomplish the project demands.
