I'm a full stack developer currently building digital products at Pantone — working across a headless Next.js + BigCommerce stack that spans 10 multilingual sites deployed via AWS Amplify. I build everything from the customer-facing frontend to the internal admin tools to the SEO infrastructure underneath.

My background spans the full arc of web development: VB.NET, PHP, vanilla JavaScript, and now TypeScript with React and Next.js. I've seen technologies come and go, and I've learned that the best code is the code that's clean enough for someone else to understand six months later.

What I Do

At Pantone, I own the Color Finder app, the dealer locator (which I originally built in 2017 and have maintained through three map provider migrations), the multilingual SEO architecture covering 28 region-locale combinations, a Contentful CMS integration powering 107 articles, and Control Booth — a custom admin dashboard I designed to bypass the BigCommerce app ecosystem entirely.

I also maintain the backend operations pipeline — Python scripts for log archival, inventory SKU migration, database backups, and order processing.

Beyond Code

I play guitar — I've played out in bands and DJ'd in San Francisco. I shoot street photography wherever I end up. I've lived in San Francisco, Brooklyn, and Manhattan before landing in Jersey City.

I've backpacked across Scotland twice. I've taken several journeys through the Canadian provinces on my BMW R1200GSA — including the dirt roads of Labrador. And I once spent a year turning a Triumph Bonneville T100 into a café racer, which is documented on this site as Bonnie Café.
