about

A jack of all trades who finishes things

I'm Alex. I like exploring what's new in design and technology, and I lean towards fast, well-made websites that people own outright.

With a background in operations, I build sites the way I'd want a system handed to me: documented, tested, and in your name. Design, build, hosting, email and launch, done by one person you can call.
