About Me (&)
My Journey
Four years ago I started coding for the first time. What happened after that is easier to show than explain.
'19
Starting out
Started learning web development during college. Writing my first lines of HTML/CSS felt like magic. No master plan, just pure curiosity to build things.

Starting out
My brother Stefan, a UX designer, showed me how to build interfaces right in front of me. I had no idea what I was doing but I couldn't close the laptop. No master plan, no career goal. Just a guy who found something and couldn't let go. Three months of late nights and annoying my brother with questions later, I knew this was it.
'20
First freelance steps
Got my first freelance gig from a local startup. The transition from learning to actually delivering real value was scary, but it changed everything.

First freelance steps
Practicing on my own was comfortable. Then someone trusted me with their project and suddenly every pixel mattered in a way it didn't before. That first year of client work taught me more than six months of practice ever did. Not because the projects were complex but because someone was counting on me to get it right.

Beyond what I knew
A biotech project that made me think this isn't possible on the web. Turns out it was.

Beyond what
I knew
When FIFTYSEVEN sent me the brief for Roswell Biotech, my first thought was honestly this can't be done on the web. The design demanded pixel-perfect execution, the functionality was complex, and I had to teach myself JavaScript mid-project to make it work. Scariest project I ever took on. Also the one that changed how I approach everything after it.

Leveling up
At 22, I am fully focused on crafting high-end Digital Experiences. Delivering 13+ successful projects globally has taught me exactly what businesses need.

Leveling up
GSAP went from something I used occasionally to something that shaped every project. Animations weren't decoration anymore, they were part of how a site communicates. On the CMS side I kept finding cleaner and smarter ways to structure content, setups that made managing a site effortless for clients. Everything I worked on this year started feeling more intentional.
