Skills⌗

I was the sole developer behind ThriveCart and grew it from its beginnings to processing well over $1bn USD for our customers.

During my 15+ years experience building out high-performance platforms with tens of thousands of active users, I have become proficient in a wide variety of software and tooling, and an expert at leveraging the maximum result from the leanest resources.

My passion is taking projects from an idea to solving real user’s problems, all while saving time and increasing revenue.
