About Me

I'm Riley, a web developer focused on building practical websites, web applications, and business tools.

I work with WordPress, PHP, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, and other modern web technologies to build solutions that are responsive, maintainable, and useful.

My background as a snowboard instructor gave me firsthand experience with scheduling systems, customer workflows, logistics, and service-based business operations. That experience helps me approach development from both a technical and real-world business perspective.
