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

When I was 12 years old, I launched a minecraft server with the goal of building a community. Very early on, I learned about port forwarding, static IP addresses, and how clients actually connect to the server. For the next few months, I was self-teaching HTML and CSS, and I remember having a hard time figuring out responsive design in DreamWeaver. A few months after my 13th birthday, I have already launched my very own website using a CMS framework powered by PHP, similar to what WordPress is. I knew then and there - I love problem-solving and providing complete solutions that are useful in the real world. That minecraft server, albeit years later, peaked with 6000+ accounts created, 160,000+ likes and ~1,000,000 views on social media, which completely satisfied the original goal of its creation.

Since then, I've done a number of project of varying complexity and scale. They gave me experience and taught me to understand requirements, build tools, solve problems, and deliver solutions. More about these projects can be found in the Notable Projects section.

I started this company in April 2024, a year before graduating University of North Florida in May 2025 with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree. In the first year - "3DDone" project was born; in the second year - "CarPlaza". Both of these projects are standalone businesses built from scratch, they tought me legal, business, and technical perspectives. More about them can be found in the Notable Projects section.

In September 2024, I partnered with Alex, a like-minded individual, to launch 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.
