I created the Greater Expectation website as community service for Pastor Troy, a good friend and my pastor. The site presents the ministry's identity, message, visit information, prayer resources, and Pastor Troy's introduction in a clear, responsive experience.
I was contracted and paid to turn photographs of Il Veliero's printed menu and waterfront venue into a responsive customer-facing website. I extracted and organized the menu content, recreated the nautical presentation, and added Google Maps, a direct Google review path, a custom domain, and a downloadable QR code.
The public project and domain for Redeemed Precision Grooming. I built the current mobile-first barber portfolio with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, using Booksy as the verified source of truth for appointment booking.
