About

Most companies look for full-stack developers or framework specialists. But what often gets overlooked is the foundation: HTML, CSS, accessibility, and performance.

A full-stack developer is like a general contractor who can handle plumbing, electricity, and carpentry — but when you need a complex electrical system, you’d rather hire a certified electrician.
That’s where I come in.
I focus on the frontend essentials that make websites fast, accessible, and future-proof.

Why I Chose Astro for My Website

In this article, I explain why I chose Astro as my frontend framework to build a fast, lightweight, and sustainable website.

Mentorship

I’ve been working in frontend development for quite some time now, and I know how much a fresh perspective can help.

If you’re looking to grow as a developer — technically or professionally — I’d be happy to share what I’ve learned along the way.
Sometimes that means discussing principles, reviewing your work, or simply helping you see things differently.

Everyone benefits from a little guidance now and then.

So...

HOW CAN I HELP?

Do you do <framework x>?

After 25 years in development, I learn new tools quickly.
With this website, I'm exploring Astro, for instance.

I’ve worked a bit with frameworks like React, Next, and Angular, as well as languages such as PHP, Python, and C#.
But my real strength lies in the fundamentals: building fast, accessible, and SEO-friendly frontends using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

If you’re looking for a React or full-stack developer, I might not be your best fit. But if you need clean, performant, and inclusive frontend code — I can help.
