Hi, I'm Joe

I build websites and apps that actually work

What I Do

Here's how I can help

Every project is different, but good code and clear thinking are non-negotiable.

Full Stack Development
From database to UI, I build complete web applications. Whether you need an API, a dashboard, or a customer-facing platform — I've got you covered.
Front End Development
Beautiful, accessible interfaces that users actually enjoy. Clean React and Next.js code that your future developers will thank you for.
Code Quality & Documentation
I believe in leaving projects better than I found them. Clear documentation, sensible architecture, and code that reads like prose.

About Me

16 years of building
for the web

I started out in front end development and worked my way across the full stack. These days, I'm as comfortable wiring up AWS CDK infrastructure as I am polishing a React component.

I've worked on successful projects and unsuccessful ones — and I know exactly what a joyride getting something from idea to production can be. I get my kicks from caffeine, outdoor adventures, and shipping clean code.

My philosophy? Leave every codebase better than you found it. Good documentation, sensible standards, and code that the next developer will actually understand.
