My Development Projects
I’m a self-taught full-stack developer with a specialty in
Django, Python, and modern frontend tools like
React and Tailwind CSS.
I build custom web applications for
small businesses, artists, and mission-driven projects — including
logistics dashboards,
e-commerce systems, and
interactive storytelling platforms.
Whether you're an employer looking for someone who can
ship production-grade code with design sensibility,
or a client needing real solutions to real-world problems —
I bring discipline, empathy, and creativity to every build.
Art Mover App
A scheduling and invoicing tool built for a fine art moving business.
Work Order Manager
A full-stack app using Django REST and React — manage client jobs, schedule pickups, and track work orders with a modern UI.
