About Me

A development approach shaped by computer science, operations, and practical engineering.

Shane studied Computer Science, then worked in claims handling at a legal firm before moving into freelance web development. That path shaped an approach built around clarity, maintainability, and software that works cleanly in practice.

Computer Science background and legal claims work shaped a structured, detail-driven way of solving problems.

The work now focuses on freelance full-stack development across frontend interfaces, backend systems, and typed APIs.

Functional minimalism, automation, and developer tooling guide how software is planned and built.
