About Me

I'm a full-stack developer who builds sophisticated web applications and business automation systems—without the ongoing fees that come with platforms like Shopify or WordPress.

My Story

As a small business owner, I became frustrated with the constant monthly fees just to keep a website online—hosting platforms, plugins, themes, and other tools that quickly added up. That experience is what drove me to take web development courses at Northwestern, so I could build better solutions for myself and for others.

Now, I specialize in building full-stack web applications with custom backends that give business owners complete control—no subscriptions, no platform lock-in. My applications are built to function independently, handling complex business workflows like payment processing, customer management, and automated communications.

I work with modern technologies like Next.js, React, TypeScript, and integrate powerful APIs including Google Calendar, Gmail, Stripe, and custom automation systems. This allows you to automate tasks, streamline operations, and scale your business—all without expensive third-party software or ongoing platform fees.

What I Do

Full-Stack Web Applications (Next.js, React, TypeScript)
Payment Processing & E-Commerce Integration (Stripe)
Business Process Automation & Workflow Systems
Database Design & Management (PostgreSQL, Prisma)
Google API Integrations (Calendar, Gmail, Forms)
Enterprise-Level Security & Performance Optimization
SEO & Accessibility Compliance
Ongoing Support & Maintenance (Only When You Need It)

My Philosophy

My goal is to make owning a sophisticated web application simple, cost-effective, and empowering. Most clients only need to budget for:

A domain name (typically billed yearly)
Hosting costs (often less than $20/month for full-stack applications)
Essential third-party services (like Stripe for payments, if needed)

I build custom solutions that eliminate ongoing platform fees and subscription costs. Whether it's a memorial tournament website, business management system, or e-commerce platform, I create applications that work independently and scale with your business.

I'm here to transform your business operations through technology, automation, and smart systems. From complex payment processing to automated email workflows, I build solutions that work—and if you ever need support, training, or enhancements, I've got your back.
