About Me

I'm a self-taught web developer with over 20 years of hands-on experience — starting with personal projects and eventually building production systems for real businesses. For nearly a decade I was the lead developer at TrailerCentral, where I owned and rebuilt core CRM infrastructure, automation pipelines, Twilio-based call tracking, and Chrome extension tooling from the ground up.

I specialize in backend systems, API integrations, and workflow automation — the kind of work where reliability matters more than novelty. I'm now actively looking for my next role while expanding into Spring Boot and React.
