My Story

I've spent my career building websites and applications end-to-end — from hosting and databases to frontend polish that people actually enjoy using.

This site is part of that work in public: a live Ratals CMS install on real shared hosting, used to evaluate what a new user experiences when they download, install, and start publishing content.

Along the way I've learned that great tools aren't only about features. Clear install paths, honest defaults, and admin workflows that don't fight you matter just as much.

When I'm not testing platforms like this, I'm shipping client and product work that stays maintainable after launch.
