Some things I've made for the web.

My career of 20 or so years spans design, creative development and frontend, with a sprinkle of backend work.

I usually work in fintech for startups and enterprises as a Lead Engineer doing React, TypeScript, Next.js, modern styling, and web accessibility.

My current work is sensitive and little can be shared. Check out my LinkedIn to learn more.
