Projects

Portfolio Website

This site was designed to showcase my web development skills using only vanilla HTML, CSS, and JS. The focus is on performance, accessibility, and clean structure — with custom animations, SVG art, and subtle JS effects.

Comic Database

A fully functional comic database built in PHP with MySQL, featuring search, filtering, and sorting by publisher, year, and keyword. This project taught me database design and efficient query building.

Inventory Manager

A WordPress-based custom post type and ACF-driven site for organizing artwork, jewelry, and more. It provides a user-friendly dashboard for insurance documentation and valuation tracking.

Fatman Little Kitchen

Fatman Little Kitchen is a fully custom-coded eCommerce website developed using the Sage Roots starter theme for WordPress. It features dynamic product listings, a checkout flow, and a completely bespoke design tailored to the client’s brand.

This was my capstone project, and I served as both team lead and primary client contact. My responsibilities included backend integration, theme architecture, and ensuring our client’s business goals were met through user-centered design and clean code.

Multi-User Gallery

A social-style gallery where users can register, log in, and share their photos with the community. Each upload can be rated by other users, creating a feedback and engagement loop. Built with PHP, MySQL, and modern JS for a smooth front-end experience.

The project taught me user authentication, session handling, and secure image uploads — essential components for full-stack web development.

Self-Hosted Infrastructure

Every one of my websites and projects runs on a self-managed VPS from DigitalOcean. I install and configure the full LAMP stack myself, including Apache, MySQL, and PHP. This setup gives me complete control over my environment and deployment workflow.

Hosting my own infrastructure has helped me develop practical DevOps skills — managing security, SSH access, database backups, and server optimization to keep everything running efficiently.
