Case studies
Every project states what it was, what my role was, its current status, and what evidence exists. Nothing is dressed up as more finished than it is.
Education / local services
DeliveredA California contractor-license school's site was rebuilt from a React single-page app into a fast static Astro site in English, Spanish, and Korean — then prepared for safe client editing.
Adventure tourism — Alaska
OngoingOngoing technical operations and digital modernization for an adventure-tourism business — websites, hosting, SEO, booking platforms, content, and the connective work between them.
Web infrastructure / publishing
Controlled BetaThe Safe-Editing CMS lets a business update its approved content — text, images, links — while the site's structure stays locked. Every change is validated before it can apply. Currently in controlled beta with one real client site.
Vehicle rental — Alaska
Pre-launch ValidationA static website that acts as the clean decision layer for an Alaskan ATV/UTV rental fleet — routing every rental choice to the right Xola checkout, and the complicated cases to a human.
What I do
The website is the anchor — but the value is the connected system around it.
01
Fast static websites built to load instantly, rank properly, and cost almost nothing to host — with a safe-editing workflow so your team can change content without being able to break the layout.
02
Implementation-first SEO built on your real Search Console data, and booking paths that take a visitor from question to confirmed booking in the fewest decisions.
03
Hosting, domains, DNS, platform administration, troubleshooting, and documentation — the unglamorous work that keeps a digital operation running.
04
Carefully scoped workflow automation and small internal tools — adopted only when the workflow genuinely requires them, never for their own sake.
How I work
No endless consulting loops. Each engagement produces something tangible you can see working — then the evidence decides what's next.
Look at what exists — site, bookings, tools, data — and find what is actually costing you.
One bounded improvement with a clear before and after. Not a re-platform.
Ship the fix: a page, a flow, a configuration, a document. Tangible output, not advice.
Test against evidence before it counts as done — checks, test bookings, audits, real devices.
Live on your infrastructure, with documentation so it is not locked in my head.
Measure what changed, then decide the next step from data — not from a roadmap fantasy.
Evidence first
You shouldn't have to take a contractor's word for it. Work on this site is backed by live pages, audits, deployment checks, project records, and careful before/after comparisons. Where something is still in progress, it says so.

Working stack, by function
Tell me what's slow, confusing, or fragile. I'll tell you the smallest useful fix — and show you the evidence behind every recommendation.
