AI is a tool I use to deliver better results faster — and a capability I can build into your project.
I integrate AI coding agents into my development process — accelerating plugin development, automating content migrations, streamlining QA, and catching accessibility issues before they ship.
When you hire me, you get the productivity benefits of AI tooling without needing to understand or manage any of it. Faster delivery, higher quality, same Craft expertise.
I build custom AI agents that integrate with your Craft CMS installation — from intelligent content assistants to automated workflow tools.

Episode 5 — 58 minutes
My journey from building HTML sites in 1996 to specializing exclusively in Craft CMS. Covering 27+ years of web development, content modeling philosophy, and the Craft community.
The tools and technologies I reach for every day to build fast, reliable Craft CMS solutions.
I've been building for the web since 1996. After years working with WordPress, Drupal, ExpressionEngine, and Magento, I found Craft CMS in 2017 and never looked back. Since 2019, I've worked exclusively in the Craft CMS / Yii ecosystem — building custom solutions for clients ranging from startups to enterprise organizations. I'm based in Charlotte, NC, where I also organize the local Craft CMS developers meetup.

Practical notes on Craft CMS development, modern tooling, and the things I run into along the way.
FabFest Charlotte was built on staging, but production was live and busy, so a database copy was off the table. Here's how I moved its sections and assets with my Transport plugin, including the import that failed and the fix that shipped the same morning.
Clever one-liners, dense arrow functions and zero comments made us feel like artists. Now that agents read and write most of our code, it's time to stop treating code as art and start writing code that's obvious.
DRY made sense when humans typed every line. Now that agents write most of the code we ship, a lot of our abstractions cost more than the duplication they replaced. Meet RYAN: Repeat Yourself As Needed.
Whether you need a new Craft CMS build, help with an existing site, or want to explore AI-powered development — I'm here to help.
