Does your team need digital sustainability skills, but you're unsure where to start? Is your outdated software architecture wasting both money and energy?

For over 13 years, I've helped tech companies and development teams build more sustainable, accessible, and efficient digital products.

🟢 As a Trainer, I teach development teams how to write sustainable, accessible, and performant code through practical training in web sustainability, software testing, and modern web standards.

🟢 As a Tech Lead, I lead architectural refactoring and modernization efforts that reduce technical debt, improve performance, and balance innovation with real-world budgets.
