The short version
How I ended up doing both.
For over two decades, my work has lived at the demanding end of technology: designing and troubleshooting the large-scale, high-performance storage systems behind enterprise data centers and media-and-entertainment production. The kind of infrastructure where milliseconds and availability genuinely matter.
Strandline grew out of something quieter. The same care those systems demand is exactly what most local businesses can't find when they need a website, so I started building them: fast, modern, and looked after long past launch, for the shops, offices, and organizations around North County San Diego, where I was raised, am raising a family, and live and work.
Two very different worlds. The same person, and the same standard, behind both.
