Tech Stack of 2026

React + Typescript + RR7

My bread and butter. The main focus is all things frontend. I love coding user interactions, and enjoy the art of styling.

These are my current skills but as is the nature of coding, some will retire and others will take their place.

Lately I've been diving deeper with RR7 and choosing Claude as my AI companion. I enjoy catching up on the latest trends, listening to the tasty treats over at the Syntax Podcast, and hearing the hot AI takes from Nate B Jones.

Echoes of the Past

Retired But Not Forgotten

A Memoir

"Here lies the languages I no longer use. The dawn of my career, WordPress, PHP, Sitecore. Allies of sorts. These skills, once vital, now rest in the annals of my past.

The logos you see before you, a testament to our shared journey, a chapter that has gracefully faded into history. Perhaps I shall rekindle them once more, but for now they rest. Lest we forget."
