I build with purpose - in code, stories, and life.

From deploying full‑stack apps to crafting stories that inspire, I love creating things that bring people closer to meaning.

Adventures & Missions

Remote Work + Tiny Living

I code from wherever I am - from the tiny house to cafés in new cities. Freedom to focus. Simplicity to ship.

Guatemala Mission Trips

Serving in Guatemala each year has reshaped how I see the world and my purpose in it. Every year, I help work with girls in orphanages, build houses for families, and more for those in need.

First Release: November 11th

Weekly stories from a developer who codes with purpose and adventures with intention. ✨

Every Tuesday, I share the real stories behind the code, lessons from the road, tiny house living insights, and moments that turn ordinary days into meaningful ones.

💌 Join the journey. From debugging code to debugging life.

Book in progress

A dystopian novel about faith, legacy, and multiplying hope. ☀️

In a world where childbearing is controlled by decree, Sela is marked unworthy.

Hopeless until she finds a fragile scrap of paper with fading words: “Be fruitful and multiply.” That single line sparks defiance, courage, and the dream of a legacy no government can erase.

I'm sharing the creative process - from raw excerpts to breakthroughs as the story comes alive
