About

Quality code is important for successful websites. You also need someone who can discuss technical concepts and functionality with non technical people. I am a new breed of social nerd who can translate geek speak to human language.

Full Stack Developer

I am a full stack web developer; I write both frontend code (like html/css and js) and backend code (like php). For years I wrote my code using just a text editor. I know how code works. This old school approach let's me get to the root of a problem when that helpful framework or content management system isn't working as expected.

Each episode focuses on one aspect of web development. Sometimes we have a discussion with an industry expert but just as often it's the podcast team clowning around. Actionable advice is provided for DIY website owners as well as advice on how to work with or choose and expert.
