About

I build practical solutions that solve real problems. My scope has consistently spanned platform development, e-commerce ops, people management, and analytics/reporting.

Most recently, I built a custom Digital Asset Management platform on Cloudflare Workers — replacing $30K+/year commercial solutions at ~$600/year. I also helped lead a $20M e-commerce platform migration across 6 brands, built unified GA4 analytics and Looker Studio dashboards, and managed everything from holiday campaign infrastructure to vendor escalation and team development.

I use Claude daily as a working partner for code generation, debugging, data analysis, SQL, SOPs, and stakeholder communications. I’ve also shipped multiple personal projects using Claude as a development partner, including a live e-commerce site and SaaS applications on Cloudflare Workers.
