Full Stack Developer, Zero to One Automation Engineer
I'm a tech enthusiast and automation hacker who loves untangling complex data challenges. After more than a decade of automating the online world, I've made a career of my curiosity and persistence. When I'm not building, my brain solves problems whether I want it to or not.
About Me
With over a decade of experience, I've built my career around untangling complex data challenges and creating elegant automation solutions. My approach combines technical expertise with persistent problem-solving - I thrive on finding innovative ways to connect systems, streamline workflows, and eliminate repetitive tasks.
I specialize in building robust APIs, orchestrating multi-platform integrations (Zapier, Airtable, WordPress, Twilio), and creating high-fidelity web scraping solutions that maintain accuracy at scale. My projects range from automated data extraction to complex workflow systems that transform manual, time-consuming processes into efficient, automated systems that deliver reliable results.
Outside of client work, my passion for automation extends to game development, where I design systems that allow players to progress from manual processes to automated solutions. This hobby reinforces my professional skills while letting me explore automation concepts in creative new contexts.
