Agency quality.
Without the agency.
Most small businesses spend years looking like they're still figuring it out. I fix that — with a custom site, built fast, that you actually own.
Most small businesses don't have a website problem.
They have a credibility problem.
A bad website doesn't just look unprofessional — it actively costs you business. Every time someone Googles you and lands on something outdated, slow, or missing entirely, that's a client who chose someone else.
Case Studies
The situation.The build.The outcome.
Peaceful Rest Baptist Church
LiveContext
A congregation without a real digital home — just an outdated Facebook page and word of mouth.
What I Built
A full website with a sermon library that self-updates from YouTube. Built with Next.js and a Sanity CMS backend for long-term content ownership.
Outcome
A congregation that no longer explains itself — they just share the link.
Apex Eight
In DevelopmentContext
Job seekers burning hours on repetitive, generic applications with no feedback loop and no curation.
What I Built
An AI matching platform that profiles candidates once at signup, then delivers 8 curated job matches every Sunday morning. Runs entirely on free infrastructure.
Outcome
Passive, personalized job discovery. No subscription, no noise — just 8 relevant opportunities delivered weekly.
Rock Solid Entertainment
LiveContext
A SF-based streetwear brand with no web presence — just an Ecwid store and social media, nothing tying it together.
What I Built
A full editorial e-commerce site with live Ecwid product integration, a custom cart drawer, inline size picker, and GSAP-driven animations. Built to feel like a brand, not a store.
Outcome
A site that sells the identity before it sells the product.
Survine Design
LiveContext
Needed a studio site that matched the quality of the work — fast, editorial, and distinctly not a template.
What I Built
This site. Built with Next.js 16 and Tailwind v4. No CMS, no bloat, no page builder. Every pixel deliberate.
Outcome
A premium first impression that loads instantly and positions the studio for the clients worth working with. You're looking at it.
How I Work
One person.
Full accountability.
You work with the person who builds it.
No project managers. No account reps. No handoffs. When you have a question, the person who wrote the code picks up. Every decision goes through one person — and that person is accountable.
You own everything from day one.
Domain, codebase, admin credentials — all yours at handoff. No proprietary platforms. No monthly subscription to access your own site. It's yours to keep, host, or hand to someone else.
Modern tools, honest timelines.
I use current technologies and AI-assisted workflows to move fast without cutting corners. You get a clear scope and a realistic timeline upfront — not a quote that balloons mid-project.
Not happy after the first deliverable? You pay nothing.
What I Build
Three ways to
work together.
Digital Presence
Custom website · CMS setup · Domain + hosting handoff
Starting at $4,500
Websites, landing pages, and brand sites that make you look like you mean business. Fast, mobile-first, and built from scratch — not a template your competitor already uses.
Systems & Automation
Web app · API integrations · Workflow automation
Starting at $6,500
Booking tools, client portals, internal dashboards, and AI integrations. If you're doing it manually and it happens more than twice a week, I can probably automate it.
Studio Partnership
Ongoing retainer · Direct access · Monthly improvements
Starting at $1,500/mo
A monthly retainer for businesses that want a real technical partner. Direct access, ongoing improvements, and someone who already knows your stack. No ticket queue.
