Hello, I'm Brian

I'm a Senior Front-End Developer with over 10 years of experience based in Chicago, IL.

About Me


It all started back in 2006 as a junior in high school when I dove into my fascination with websites and finally taught myself how to build one. While I initially participated in the world of web development for fun as a hobby, I quickly realized the rising demand for web development services and my freelance business was born.

I built myself a portfolio website, had business cards made, and went door to door to all of the businesses in the neighborhood, offering to build them a website or enhance their existing one. Before I knew it, my summer break turned into many late nights working on websites for all of my new clients and I couldn't have been happier.

Fast forward to my college graduation in 2013, I landed my first profesional developer role for a startup. This experience was like getting a master's degree as I got to wear a lot of hats and work with all kinds of different languages, tools, and technologies related to the web development world. I also got to work alongside senior level developers and learn about best practices as it pertains to this industry.

In the last 10 years I have had the pleasure of working in many different industries where I have built websites for professional sports teams, medical apps to assist doctors with their patients, onboarding tools for traders within the finance space, and much more. It's exciting working with clients and stakeholders to bring their ideas to life and I am always looking forward to the next challenge!
