About Me

Hi, I'm Andrew.

Full-stack web developer with 29 years of experience building accessible, maintainable websites that clients love.

I specialize in creating well-crafted web solutions for small to medium-sized businesses—those "old-fashioned websites" that sit between hobby sites and over-engineered apps. My sweet spot is combining frontend mastery with backend functionality to deliver sites that are beautiful, accessible, and built to last.

What I Bring to the Table:

  • Frontend expertise in Vue.js, Alpine.js, Livewire, and TailwindCSS
  • Backend development with Laravel and the Statamic CMS
  • A deep commitment to web accessibility (WCAG compliance)
  • Strong client communication—I translate complex technical concepts into clear, understandable terms
  • Creative problem-solving backed by traditional art skills (illustration, storyboarding)

My current preferred tech stack:

  • Statamic CMS
  • Laravel PHP framework
  • Alpine.js and Livewire
  • Vue.js for more robust frontend solutions
  • TailwindCSS
  • Greensock Animation Library (GSAP) for motion effects

I've led accessibility initiatives, mentored development teams, and built lasting client relationships at agencies like If/Then, Big Nerd Ranch, and Turner Sports. Clients consistently appreciate my proactive troubleshooting, creative thinking, and ability to push boundaries while keeping projects on track.

Beyond code, I'm a lifelong artist—creating illustrations, storyboards, and official sketch cards for properties including Star Wars, Superman and The Walking Dead.

Let's connect if you need a seasoned generalist who sweats the details and genuinely loves making great websites.

Oh, and want to switch to Statamic from WordPress? Let's talk!
