About me

It's pretty safe to say that lockdown 2020 was rough for everyone but for anyone fresh out of high school, with no idea what they wanted to do, "the pressure was getting worser". I, at that point, had no interest in computers or anything related to tech but since I had nothing better to do, I gave it a shot.

To my massive surprise, I turned out to be pretty decent. I landed a few freelancing jobs in web development along the way then ended up with the pleasure of working at a brand consultancy based in the United States.

I've come a long way since my origin story, and I've come to really enjoy building interactive websites with an emphasis on animations and bringing every page to life. I always experiment and do more research to find the best ways to give sites an almost "video-game-like" feel to them as much as I can.

When I'm not slamming my head against the desk by my computer trying to rid myself of every error that appears in the web console, I quite enjoy an extremely cheeky game of soccer and other sports as well as making the most of my time spent with close friends. I am also currently studying software engineering at Hyperion.

Featured Projects

Beck & Stone Project

American Compass

American Compass is a large media outlet that covers a broad set of news, current events, social issues and more.

With 1000s of posts varying from articles, multiple podcasts, appearances on major news outlets and more, the work I did here was to take care of the styling and functional updates they frequently required due to their constant needs to improve the user experience for their followers.

Calder Walton

Calder Walton is one of the world’s leading scholars of intelligence and national security. His research has appeared in leading academic journals and in print and broadcast media on both sides of the Atlantic.

This fun little website was built out with the idea to portray it as if you were reading an old spy document rather than a webpage. Again, my tasks varied from content updates to styling changes site wide as well as improving upon old functionality set in place.

Law & Liberty

Law & Liberty is a magazine that focuses on political and social issues that brings together serious debate, commentary, essays, book reviews, interviews, and educational material.

Having been built out in a Laravel-based framework for Wordpress, it was one of the more difficult webistes to manage and maintain but all the more interesting due to the wide-ranging set of tasks that would come my way which went from regular aesthetic changes to dealing with issues with services like Google Analytics and MailChimp.

Monument Legacy

Monument Legacy is a Donor Advised Fund that offers a unique opportunity for individuals to align their investment portfolios with their philanthropic goals.

Monument Legacy and it's sister company Monument Ventures were both sites that I had done work on. In fact, Monument Legacy was entirely built out by me during my time at Beck & Stone based on designs provided.
