Background
About
I've been programming since 2022. Bots, scrapers, CLI tools, client sites.
Python and JavaScript for most things, Rust when it needs to be fast. I cover the whole stack: design, code, deploy, keep it running.
Based in Troy, NY.
Toolbox
Skills & Tools
Python
Backends, scripts, data pipelines. First thing I open for most jobs.
JavaScript
DOM work, browser APIs, no framework layer in between.
HTML & CSS
Semantic markup, custom layouts. No Webflow, no page builders.
Rust
Systems tools and CLI apps. Picked it up for the speed, stayed for the compiler.
REST APIs
Design, integration, error handling. Most of my work touches an API somewhere.
Linux
Arch, Fish shell, Kitty. Day-to-day environment for everything I build.
What I do
Services
Available now
AI Automation & Integration
That report someone pulls by hand every Monday morning? That follow-up email chain? Those can run themselves.
I set it up and plug it into whatever you're already using.
Web Design & Development
Landing pages to full business sites. Hand-coded, no WordPress, no Squarespace.
Web Apps & Backend
Custom apps and APIs. Python and JavaScript, async all the way through.
Performance & SEO
Lighthouse audits, Core Web Vitals, load time cuts.
Maintenance & Support
Ongoing updates, hosting, uptime monitoring, and fixes when something breaks.
