As a maker with UX design and Front-end experience, I love building web apps that helps people. From marketing sites to internal tools that help improve the user experience for people, now AI enabled.
Understanding problems, exploring and building digital solutions that matters to people. is what I enjoy. I start with a broad first version and then refine it step by step. On YouTube I share that process so people a few steps behind can start building too.
Honest reviews of web and WordPress tools, with written tutorials and prebuilt components on techies.review.
By day I build websites, including custom Elementor components. I'm moving towards more UX work: sitting with people, understanding their problems, and improving things from there.
Most of these started as a problem in my own work. Some are finished, some are experiments.
Visual editor for plain HTML, CSS and web-component sites, with a native live preview and no build step. It runs techies.review and this site.
Alpha
A view-only camera window for screen tutorials, so my head stops covering the interface I'm explaining, which is nice.
Done for now
Spins up WordPress Playground with a stack of premium plugins in one go, instead of downloading, installing and licensing each one.
Live
A calendar for scheduling and moving YouTube uploads around, built for a fellow creator.
Live
One place for research, ideas, assets, social posts and livestreams, so the context around an idea doesn't get lost between apps.
In progress
An experiment that compiles and renders Astro pages entirely in the browser, with click-to-edit and a live code panel, all in one.
Experiment
A design system that captures my design preferences as guidance for AI, plus a CodePen-like library of UI patterns with editable HTML and CSS you can copy into your own work.
First version
The easiest way to reach me is on X or LinkedIn. I'm always happy to hear what you're building.
