Hi! I love designing, building, and managing infrastructure and software. Shoot me a message, and we'll make things happen!

I've always wanted to create and make things. When I was 12 years old, I launched a minecraft server with a goal of building a community. Very early on, I learned about port forwarding, static IP addresses, and how clients actually connect to the server. I've spread the news across everyone I knew, and created social media pages for the community. For the next few months I was deep into HTML and CSS, and I remember having a hard time figuring out responsive design in DreamWeaver until the free trial ran out. A few months after my 13th birthday, I was able to launch my very own website using a CMS framework powered by PHP, very similar to WordPress in ideology. That was the time when a passion of a lifetime was ignited within me, I knew then and there - I love problem-solving and creating complete solutions.

I started this company in April 2024, right before graduating University of North Florida in May 2024 with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree. In the first year - "3DDone" project was born; in the second year - "CarPlaza". More about them can be found in the Notable Projects section. Both of these projects are standalone businesses built from scratch, they tought me everything from legal, business, and technical perspectives.

In September 2024, I and a very like-minded individual - Alex, agreed to make a web development agency. We called it Synpine, reflecting synergy of what both of us can bring to the table: client outreach and marketing - on Alex; designing, building, and shipping the complete solution - on me. We've worked with a number of clients including a private jet charter company and a manufactured homes dealer, and have done projects ranging from SEO optimizations and maintaining existing platforms to providing complete online retail solutions built "from scratch" using HTML/JS/PHP/CSS under LNMP stack.
