Not Your Typical Web Guy

915 is the area code for El Paso, Texas. It's not just a number - it's home. I'm a solo developer who builds websites for the businesses that make our city run: landscapers, mechanics, nail salons, plumbers, and all the hardworking folks who keep El Paso moving.

I've been coding for over 10 years, starting with PHP and building my own LAMP stacks on Digital Ocean. But my real education started 20 years ago when I installed my first Linux distribution. From Debian to Pop!_OS, from Fedora to every flavor of Ubuntu, I've tried them all. These days, I run Arch Linux with Hyprland on my trusty ThinkPad T480.

Why does this matter to you? Because the same obsessive attention to detail that goes into perfecting a Linux setup goes into every website I build. I don't do "good enough" - I do it right.

The Underdog Philosophy

I've always rooted for the underdog. When everyone was using WordPress, I chose ExpressionEngine and ProcessWire. When React took over (backed by Facebook) and Angular emerged (Google's baby), I went with Vue.js - created by one guy, Evan You, who just wanted to build something better.

Today, I use Nuxt 3 for most projects. It's powerful, fast, and built by a community that cares about developers like us - not shareholders.

The Power Tools Advantage

Let's talk about something your other web developers won't: Yes, I use AI. Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini - they're all in my toolkit. But here's the thing:

It's like comparing two mechanics: One uses a manual wrench and screwdriver, taking hours to do basic repairs. The other uses pneumatic power tools and gets the same job done in minutes - with better precision. Both are mechanics, but who would you rather hire?

I've been coding for 10+ years. I know when the AI is suggesting outdated patterns, when it's about to create a security nightmare, or when it's completely hallucinating. The difference between me and someone who just discovered ChatGPT? I'm the master craftsman with power tools, not a kid with a YouTube tutorial.

What this means for you: I deliver enterprise-quality code at small business prices. What used to take weeks now takes days. But the expertise to know what to build, how to build it right, and how to avoid costly mistakes? That's 10+ years of experience that no AI can replace.

The Right Tool for Every Job

You know the saying: "If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." Most web developers are hammers - they know WordPress, or Wix, or one framework, and they'll force your project to fit their limited toolbox.

My toolkit is different: Claude for complex logic, ChatGPT for creative solutions, Gemini for data analysis, specialized tools for security audits, performance optimization, and more. I don't make your business fit my tools - I select the perfect combination of tools to fit your business needs.

Your local restaurant doesn't need the same solution as an e-commerce store. A plumber's website has different requirements than a law firm's. When you hire me, you're not getting a one-size-fits-all template - you're getting a custom solution built with the exact right tools for YOUR specific needs.
