About

I have over 20+ years of web experience and have expertise in product design, frontend, and backend development. I have built hundreds of websites, products, and applications for enterprise companies, startups, and even major recording artists. I’ve spoken about full-stack development around the world. My podcast, Compressed.fm supports thousands of full-stack engineers with design and development tips. I’ve developed multiple technology courses like Everything Svelte, KeystoneJS, and Advent of CSS and JavaScript. I help designers and developers build with confidence so they can take their projects and careers to the next level.
