The Person Behind the Code

Built by someone who cares
about getting it right

Granite Cloud & Code is a one-person shop — intentionally. Every line of code, every deployment, every AWS configuration is done by me. No middlemen. No surprises.

Your site deserves someone
who loses sleep over
getting it right

I started Granite Cloud & Code because I got tired of seeing businesses settle for mediocre websites and unreliable hosting. The bar for "good enough" on the web is low. I'm not interested in that.

My background is deep in the infrastructure side — years of AWS cloud architecture, infrastructure as code, and DevOps work means I understand not just how to build a site, but how to keep it running reliably at scale. Your uptime isn't an afterthought.

But here's the thing: I also genuinely love frontend design. The craft of building interfaces that feel effortless to use and look exactly right — I get unreasonably invested in that. Typography, spacing, motion — it all matters.

When you work with me, you get the full stack: clean code, solid infrastructure, and a site that doesn't look like it was built by an engineer.

What I Bring

A full stack of skills,
not a narrow speciality

AWS Cloud Hosting

EC2, S3, CloudFront, RDS, Route 53 — I know which services to reach for and how to wire them together so your infrastructure is fast, resilient, and cost-efficient.

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform, CloudFormation, and CDK. Your infrastructure is code — version controlled, repeatable, and auditable. No more snowflake servers or manual click-ops.

DevOps & CI/CD

GitHub Actions, automated deployments, zero-downtime releases. Code ships fast and safely, with tests running on every push and rollbacks when needed.

Frontend Design

I genuinely love building interfaces. The spacing, the typography, the micro-interactions — the details that make a site feel polished rather than just functional.

Laravel & PHP

Laravel is where back-end elegance meets developer productivity. I build maintainable, well-tested applications that are as clean under the hood as they look on screen.

WordPress

Custom themes, performance optimization, and plugin development done right. Not bolted together from a page builder — actually built for your use case.

How I Work

What you can always
expect from me

01

If I wouldn't be proud of it, it doesn't ship

Every project gets the same attention to detail whether it's a one-page site or a full-stack platform. I don't cut corners and I don't make excuses.

02

You talk to me, not a team of strangers

When you hire Granite Cloud & Code, you get me. I write your code, manage your infrastructure, and answer your questions — no account managers, no offshore handoffs.

03

Built to last, not to bill hours

I build things the right way the first time. Clean architecture, automated tests, documented deployments. The goal is a site that runs reliably for years, not one that needs constant patching.
