Founder, SiteSparx Development

SiteSparx was built on a simple belief: great businesses deserve digital experiences that look as strong as the work behind them.

By Trade
Professional Pilot

Professional pilot

Precision, checklists, and calm under pressure — aviation habits translate into disciplined engineering.

Self-taught builder

Years of teaching myself design, code, and systems — shipping real products before it was a business.

Pittsburgh-rooted

Grit, precision, and craftsmanship — the city's DNA runs through every project we take on.

The Story

Curiosity, turned into craft.

I'm a professional pilot by trade and a builder by nature. Long before SiteSparx, I was teaching myself how to design and develop websites, systems, and tools that solved real problems. What started as curiosity turned into a deep focus on creating clean, high-performing digital products that actually move businesses forward.

As part of my professional development as a programmer, I've completed CS50: Introduction to Computer Science, CS50's Web Programming with Python and JavaScript, and CS50's Mobile App Development with React Native — further strengthening a foundation built on both hands-on experience and formal training.

Based in Pittsburgh, a city known for grit, precision, and craftsmanship, SiteSparx carries that same mindset into everything we build. Every project is approached with intention — no templates, no shortcuts — just thoughtful design, scalable development, and a focus on results.

Today, SiteSparx helps brands go beyond “just having a website” by creating modern platforms, client portals, and custom systems that support real growth.

No templates, no shortcuts — just thoughtful design, scalable development, and a focus on results.

How we work
Formal Training

Hands-on experience, built on a strong technical foundation.

Self-taught instincts paired with Harvard's CS50 curriculum — three courses covering computer science fundamentals, full-stack web development, and native mobile app engineering.
