Process

How I work

A structured approach that keeps projects on track and clients informed at every stage.

Discovery & Scope

I ask the right questions first. Business goals, user flows, edge cases, and technical constraints get mapped before a single line is written. Ambiguity is expensive — clarity is free.

Architecture & Planning

Tech stack decisions, data models, component structure, and delivery milestones — documented before build starts. Clear architecture prevents the expensive pivots that kill timelines.

Build & Communicate

Sprint-paced delivery with async progress updates and working demos at every milestone. You always know what's done, what's next, and which decisions need your input.

QA & Performance Audit

Every launch goes through cross-browser QA, Core Web Vitals audits, accessibility checks, and load-time optimization. Production-grade means more than just working.

Launch & Iterate

Zero-downtime deployments with rollback safety nets. Post-launch retainer support available for teams that want a trusted developer on call.

Why Cord?

What makes this different

  • 150+ real-world sites shipped — not portfolio pieces, not tutorials
  • Deep specialization in regulated industries: cannabis, age-gated retail, high-stakes ecommerce
  • Full-stack ownership: I write the API, the database schema, and the pixel-perfect UI
  • I understand conversion, SEO, and business outcomes — not just the code that produces them
  • Direct communication, one point of contact, no offshore relay or agency markup
  • Every codebase is typed, documented, and ready for the next developer to maintain
