Dream. Design. Develop. Deliver.

I'm Al. I'm a self-taught web developer with a nack for learning new things and breaking stuff. I enjoy being creative but find expressing it artistically, difficult. But, once I found coding, I was able to express that creativity that no paint-brush or paint-mouse ever quite could do for me and I've never looked back since. 🎶 Started with the LAMP-stack, now I'm all about that JAM-stack. 🎶
