I've been a programmer since I was 12 — born, raised, and living in Edinburg, Texas — and after graduating from UT Austin I spent years building software for Fortune 500 companies. Here's what I've learned along the way: almost every business I meet is paying for services they don't actually need. They just don't have someone in their corner to guide them.

That's what I do. I listen to your tech vision and how you want your business to run, then I find powerful, simpler solutions that save you and your staff money — and free up that time to focus on the parts of your business that actually bring in customers. I'd be honored to jump on a Zoom and talk through your vision and your tech needs. I know I can be an asset to you.

I run and maintain my own private Linux server — so I can cut your hosting and scaling costs while keeping your systems secure from DDoS and malicious traffic.
