Profile
Full Stack Web Developer with over 15 years of experience on the web. I currently own the web presence of an education provider with eight locations and am migrating it off WordPress onto a custom stack. I build applications in TypeScript — React and Next.js on the front end, Node.js, Payload and PostgreSQL behind it —, integrate third-party systems over REST APIs and develop AI applications that run in production, among them a voice assistant and a text chat. Operations are part of the job: my own server infrastructure, deployment pipelines and backups, as well as GDPR and EU AI Act conformity of the products. From marketing practice (Google Ads, Meta, GA4, HubSpot) I bring the habit of measuring technology by its results.
