Hi, I'm Derek.

I specialize in combining marketing and code to create and scale profitable campaigns. With over two decades of experience running paid traffic and three decades of programming, I've spent my career solving interesting problems at the intersection of technology and business. These days, I'm based in Austin, TX, where I'm building projects, exploring new ideas, and raising a family.

Here's what I'm working on now:

• Building web and mobile apps with React and React Native
• Staying sharp on marketing technology and experimenting with automation
• Exploring the potential of AI tools in marketing, software, and more
• Writing and sharing insights about indie hacking, solopreneurship, and personal growth
• Diving deeper into blockchain, crypto, and web3 development

This site is a space for me to share my projects, interests, and ideas—a mix of blog and portfolio. It's where I document what I'm working on, connect with like-minded people, and hold myself accountable to keep shipping.
