I've been building websites and working on the web for over eight years. What started as an interest in websites gradually turned into something I spend most of my time doing — building, experimenting, fixing, learning, and starting new projects.

Over the years, I've worked with WordPress, PHP, SEO, databases, APIs, performance optimization, content systems, and many other parts of the web. I've learned most of these things by actually building websites and dealing with the problems that come with running them.

Building, Not Just Designing

I enjoy taking an idea and turning it into something people can actually use.

That means more than making a website look good. I care about how quickly it loads, how easily people can navigate it, how search engines understand it, and how the underlying systems work.

A lot of my learning has come from building things myself rather than following a fixed path. Sometimes that means writing code from scratch, sometimes working with WordPress, and sometimes completely rethinking how a feature should work.

MemesTube

One of my main projects is MemesTube, a meme platform that I've built and grown over time.

MemesTube has become much more than a collection of meme pages. I've worked on its search system, recommendations, APIs, performance, SEO, content structure, and different ways of helping users discover content.

Building it has also taught me a lot about handling real traffic and real users. Things that look simple from the outside can become surprisingly interesting when you're responsible for the entire system behind them.

Other Projects

I also build smaller projects alongside MemesTube.

QuickAtHome is a local home-services project, while my collection of free tools focuses on practical utilities for bloggers, developers, and people working on websites.

I like working on different types of projects because each one creates a different set of problems to solve.

What SEO Taught Me

SEO has been a big part of my journey.

I've learned that getting traffic isn't simply about publishing an article and waiting for Google to rank it. Technical structure, content quality, internal linking, backlinks, search intent, performance, and user behavior can all matter.

I've also learned that SEO is constantly changing. Something that works today may need to be changed tomorrow, which makes experimentation an important part of the process.

Still Building

I don't consider the eight years I've spent on the web to be a finished journey.

There are always new technologies to learn, new ideas to test, and existing projects that can be improved.

That's one of the things I enjoy most about building on the web: there is always another problem to solve.

This site is where I'll share some of those experiences — things I'm building, lessons I've learned, experiments I'm running, and ideas that I find worth writing about.
