dev by day.
Your dev by night.
I write code, do SEO, manage advertising budgets Monday to Friday. On nights and weekends, I build affordable web apps for Okanagan businesses — to fund the fun stuff.
the real story
Why I do this
Monday through Friday, I'm a developer/marketer. I build and maintain web applications that serve thousands of users. It's challenging, rewarding work — and it means I write code every single day.
On nights and weekends, I take that same skillset and apply it to Okanagan businesses at a fraction of what agencies charge. Why? Because this isn't my primary income. I don't need to inflate quotes, pad timelines, or upsell you on services you don't need.
Every dollar I earn from side projects goes straight toward the things I love — motorcycles, vinyl, good food, travel, and the dogs. When you hire me, you're not paying for the agency's office lease. You're helping me fund my next adventure, and getting a killer website and or app in return.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me at Chulo Tapas & Bar, Neighbourhood Brewing, Cannery Brewing, or Evolve Sparkling House. Or down at Shaughnessy's Cove with the dogs. Penticton is home and I genuinely want the businesses here to succeed online.
I use the same tech stack at my day job that I use for your project — Next.js, React, TypeScript, deployed on Vercel. Your small business gets the same architecture powering million-dollar apps, built by someone who actually does this full-time.

origin story
How it started
Like a lot of developers, I got into this because of 90s movies that made computers look like magic. Watching hackers fly through 3D cityscapes of data, seeing someone take over a TV station from a bedroom, watching a kid navigate a Unix system to lock out velociraptors — that stuff rewired my brain at age 10.
I didn't just want to watch it. I wanted to build it. I got into IT at 18, built my first website at 21 with Adobe Dreamweaver, learned Joomla in 2012, WordPress in 2014, and went full stack in 2021. Over twenty years later, I'm still chasing that same feeling — making things on screens that feel alive.
I actually built interactive recreations of those scenes. If you grew up on the same movies, you'll love them.

Where does the money go?
I track my savings goals publicly. Every project you fund gets me closer to the next motorcycle, trip, or audio upgrade.
