At my core, I’m a builder — not just of websites, but of experiences that bring people closer to the things they care about. I’m Nick, a full-stack developer and UI/UX strategist with more than seven years of experience creating scalable, accessible, and human-centered solutions. My work is guided by a simple principle: technology should make life easier, not harder.

I’ve delivered projects that reduce load times by 42%, modernized legacy systems into clean, maintainable architectures, and improved accessibility for tens of thousands of users across platforms. Whether I’m engineering a custom Laravel application, crafting a React-powered interface, or optimizing a CMS to meet the demands of a growing business, my focus remains the same: blending creative strategy with clean, performant code to deliver results that last.

For me, performance is design. A fast, seamless experience isn’t just a technical benchmark — it’s a design choice, a business advantage, and a statement about how much we value the people using what we build. That belief informs every decision I make, from database schema and API structure to typography, color contrast, and micro-interactions on the front end.

My journey here has been anything but conventional — from working on radar systems in the U.S. Navy to shaping public policy to ultimately discovering that what I love most is creating technology that helps people. That range of experience informs how I approach development: with a mix of creativity, strategic thinking, and a healthy dose of Gen-X curiosity and rebellion. I don’t just solve problems — I craft experiences that connect.

Whether you’re launching a product, scaling a platform, or rethinking a user experience from the ground up, I’d love to help bring your vision to life.

Let’s build something that doesn’t just work — it works beautifully.
