The WordPress theme Alex built for us is rock solid. It loads in under 1.5 seconds, scores 98 on Lighthouse, and our editorial team loves the block editor experience.
Working with Alex felt like having a co-founder. He understood our vision immediately and translated it into a beautiful, functional product. Our users have never been happier.
Passionate About Building Things
I'm Alex — a full-stack developer and designer based in New York. I love turning complex problems into beautiful, intuitive solutions. Over 6 years, I've shipped products used by tens of thousands of people worldwide.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me contributing to open source, writing about web development, or experimenting with generative art. I believe great software is built at the intersection of engineering craft and empathetic design.
