About Me

I'm a Vancouver-based web developer with over 20 years of experience designing, building, and maintaining web applications and digital products for clients ranging from local businesses to global enterprises.

My recent work focuses on React front-end development alongside CMS and e-commerce platforms including WordPress, Shopify, and Squarespace — from custom theme development and API integrations to full-scale platform builds. Earlier in my career I spent over a decade delivering large-scale .NET solutions at companies including Expedia CruiseShipCenters and Replicon.

Client Feedback

James

Software Engineer

Chad is a pleasure to work with, and a very smart and dedicated developer. He has passion and commitment, and excellent interpersonal skills. What sets him apart is his ability to quickly understand complex requirements and translate them into clean, maintainable solutions. He communicates clearly, meets deadlines consistently, and always goes the extra mile to get things right. I'd highly recommend him to any team.

Diane

Senior Programmer Analyst

Chad is more than just a "can-do" developer. He can take any task and improve on how it's implemented. He consistently goes beyond the project expectations with a cheerful attitude, that encourages any team he works with to do the same. He not only solves the problem, but does it efficiently with the least amount of resources. He's an asset to any team he works with. So much so, if I was given the opportunity to pick my team for any of my projects, Chad would definitely be on it!

Dave

Experienced Digital Marketer

I've had the pleasure of working with Chad on a variety of projects over the years and he's always been excellent to work with. Aside from being a solid developer on the coding-side, he also takes an active role in meetings to further flush out requirements, ask great questions, and leverages his experience to further enhance the project. Would highly recommend!
