Profile
I build interactive web experiences and AI-assisted prototypes, bringing visual thinking, frontend development, and practical iteration together. My independent practice spans client websites and commerce; at Archon Digital I develop public products and internal tools. Twelve years leading restaurant teams shaped how I collaborate, make decisions, and deliver under pressure.
