The Journey
Eight years of building things that matter
I didn't just write code — I built products, solved real user problems, and learned how to ship. Here's how it went.
"The best part about eight years in software isn't the code I wrote — it's understanding why people need what they need, and how to build it reliably."
2016 – 2017
Starting Out — Websites & Web Apps
Started with client websites and quickly moved into full web applications. Learned the full stack end-to-end:
HTML, CSS, JavaScript, databases, servers. Built the habit of shipping things — not just starting them.
2018 – 2019
Going Deeper — React, Node, Real Products
Moved into modern JavaScript with React and Node.js. Started building more complex applications —
e-commerce platforms, dashboards, SaaS tools. Learned what it means to build something people rely on every day.
2020 – 2021
Scale & Complexity — APIs, Infrastructure, Teams
APIs, cloud infrastructure, and working with larger teams. Built systems that had to handle real traffic
and real users. Next.js became a go-to. Started thinking more about architecture and less about individual features.
2022 – 2023
Products at Scale — Multi-Site Platforms & E-Commerce
Built and operated multiple production web platforms simultaneously. Custom hosting infrastructure,
analytics, firewalls. Learned how to keep things running reliably — and how to fix them fast when they don't.
2024 – Present
The Shift — Bringing AI Into Everything
The tools changed. LLMs, agents, generative AI — not as toys, but as real components in real products.
Eight years of understanding how software gets built, combined with the most powerful set of tools
I've ever had access to. That's where I am now.
