Website & WordPress engineer with 20+ years of experience—plus custom development and practical AI.

I got my start nearly two decades ago building the Riders Club PHP website for Evil Knievel. Since then, I’ve delivered and supported websites for national brands like Wells Fargo, Wachovia, and White Claw—along with countless small businesses that needed enterprise-level execution.

I build websites that perform—and platforms that scale.

WordPress is my go-to for most businesses because it’s fast to iterate, easy to manage, and can be engineered to perform like a custom build. When you need more than marketing pages, I also ship custom development—portals, SaaS, and integrations—without sacrificing speed, security, or maintainability.

I’ve held roles as a programmer, database administrator, and systems administrator at a college—and I’ve been a senior engineer for the past 10 years. That background shows up in the work: clean architecture, disciplined deployments, and websites that don’t fall apart after launch.

WordPress Website Engineering

Custom themes, clean structure, and performance tuning so WordPress runs fast, ranks well, and stays easy to maintain.

Custom Development & Integrations

Portals, SaaS MVPs, and API integrations when your website needs to connect to payments, CRMs, inventory, or internal systems.

SEO + Conversion Foundation

Technical SEO, structured content, schema, speed work, and funnel improvements that turn traffic into leads.

AI That Helps (Not Hype)

AI-assisted workflows for content, support, and internal automation—implemented with guardrails and real business outcomes.

The operating playbook

Website strategy, then execution

We align on goals, sitemap, content, and conversions—then ship a build plan that’s easy to approve and fast to implement.

Content your team can manage

WordPress and structured content so updates don’t require engineers—and the site stays consistent as it grows.
