About Me

Hi there! I'm Forrest—a husband, dad, self-taught developer, and problem-solver with a story that's anything but linear. My journey began with a BS in Cell and Molecular Biology, but life had other plans. I wrote my first line of code after graduating, and that pivot sent me down a path I never expected. (You can read the full tale on my blog—it's wild how one decision can redefine everything.)

For the past 11 years (nearly 12!), I've been lucky to share life's adventures with my incredible partner, and together we're raising two amazing kids. Family fuels me, but so does building tools that make a difference. I create and maintain every product solo uno—no team, no middleman. My mission? To spot pain points in small communities and craft simple, intuitive solutions that just work. If it's not quick to grasp or easy to use, I haven't done my job.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me chasing light with a camera in hand. Photography is my escape, and the photo on my landing page? That's a slice of magic I couldn't resist. As the sun dipped below the horizon, a bus rolled in, its glass reflecting the sky's fiery hues. I sprinted across the street, planted myself in front of it, and clicked the shutter—proof that sometimes, the best moments demand a little boldness.

To you, reading this: thank you. Whether you're here to explore my work, share a problem, or just connect, I'm grateful you've joined this chapter of the journey. Let's build something meaningful.

—Forrest
