Featured Case Study & Experiment
Kurt Weill Foundation
Salesforce ↔ WordPress
I helped the Kurt Weill Foundation connect their WordPress site with a Salesforce backend via API. A two-way live sync, audit-trailed, with the editorial team firmly in the driving seat.

Real NASA MOLA elevation, in your browser
A Three.js Mars globe driven by real NASA elevation data. Drag the slider and the planet actually floods the way the data says it would. Not the way the viral image implied.

I run rescue campaigns for agencies who need to put out fires. Replatforms, re-integrations, rebuilds. I'm the fluent technical partner sitting alongside your team — helping designers deliver, solving content catastrophes, and letting management sleep at night.
I work primarily with Laravel, Craft or WordPress. I compound effort with AI inside defined harnesses, so the work goes faster without going off the rails. No problem. No worries.
Inherited a stack that's struggling? Let's get it stable.

Experiments
Small, opinionated builds. What I make when nobody is paying me, poking at the edges of browsers, canvas, type and shaders. None are products. All have taught me skills transferable straight back into client work.

Managed delivery.
I work with PMs and designers to clarify brief and UX.
We work in tandem to ensure the end product gets a clean hand-off and isn't a black box.
Diagnostic call.
To kick things off, a 30 minute call to go over your current stack.
Sounds good? Let's get to it.
