N°.04 — WHAT I BUILD

Websites, web apps, and the occasional medical project.

  • Custom websites

    For businesses that need a real one, not a template. Designed and coded by hand.

  • Web applications

    When a website isn't enough — internal tools, dashboards, scheduling, anything bespoke.

  • E-commerce

    Stripe, Shopify, custom carts. The right tool for what you actually sell.

  • Maintenance & support

    Keep what you have running. I'll take over from your last developer.
