My Story

From UI Designer
to Oracle Developer.

I didn't start as a developer. My first love was design, UX, interfaces, and the way people interact with software. That background shaped everything about how I build today. I don't just write SQL, I think about who's reading the output.

I joined S&H Software Solutions and found myself deep in Oracle APEX, building enterprise applications that now serve 7,000+ users every single day. Two years in, I'm still learning something new every week, and this blog is where I put all of it.

"Low-code doesn't mean low-impact. The right tool, built right, can change how an entire organization works."
