Canopy
UI/UX · Enterprise SaaS · getcanopy.com
Practice management for 15,000 accountants. Documents, client portals, a quarter million invoices a month. The UX had to keep up with the engineering.

FabianAlmiron.Fractional CTO & Full-Stack Engineer
I've spent 14+ years in the room where the product, the design, and the code all have to agree. Startups, healthcare, campaigns, SaaS. I still like shipping more than talking about shipping.
// what i do
Figure it out.
Then make it real.
Most of the time the problem isn't the tech. It's that nobody is looking at the product, the marketing, and the code at the same time. That's the seat I sit in.
Strategy→
Before anyone opens Figma or a terminal, we figure out what the business actually needs. I've sat in enough meetings to know that's usually the hard part.
Design→
Interfaces that make sense the first time someone uses them. Pretty is easy. Clear is the work.
SEO→
I care whether people can find the thing, and whether they do something once they do. Rankings are a means, not a personality.
AI→
I'll use it where it saves real time, not because it's fashionable. If a workflow is eating your week, we should talk.
Sites & apps→
Things that hold up under traffic, editors, and the next few years of feature requests.
After launch→
Shipping isn't the end. I stay on, watch how people use it, and we fix what's actually broken.

The Piped Peony
Web design · Branding · Membership platform
An academy for people serious about buttercream. Courses, community, recipes, and a brand that feels like the work: soft, a little indulgent, not corporate.

Kevin O'Leary
Web design · Branding · kevinoleary.com
Kevin O'Leary's personal site. Custom integrations, performance work, and enough polish that a personality with zero chill wouldn't send it back.

Forevering
Web design · Branding · E-commerce
A custom ring studio in Florida. Quiet, editorial, the jewelry does most of the talking. I built the diamond explorer and a consultation flow that doesn't feel like a checkout.
A few others I've worked on:
- PBS Kids
- Strider Intel
- Suralink
- Yoli
- John Kasich '16
// about
I think like a strategist.
I still write the code.
I started in Linux infrastructure, keeping servers up so other people's sites didn't fall over. That stuck with me. Reliability still matters more to me than a flashy stack.
Since then I've worked with startups, hospitals, campaigns, SaaS companies, and a few personalities who needed a site that could keep up with them. Accounting software. Cake decorating. Shark Tank. It's a weird résumé, and I like it that way.
The through-line isn't a tool. It's sitting close enough to the problem that the design, the SEO, and the engineering don't fight each other.

Where I've been.
- 2025 - now
Senior Software Engineer · STRS Dev
I lead the engineering. React, Next.js, TypeScript, Laravel, GraphQL, AWS. Also a lot of helping other engineers get better at the job.
- 2023 - 2025
Lead Software Engineer · C Squared Social
Technical lead on PBS Kids, Kevin O'Leary, The Piped Peony, and Yoli. Architecture, the stack, and making sure it actually shipped.
- 2012 - 2026
Founder · 9th South Digital
My own shop. Custom apps, SaaS, ecommerce, plus the hosting and DNS work nobody wants to own.
- 2016 - 2019
Senior Web Developer · Arena LLC
Campaign sites and AWS infrastructure for races the whole country was watching. Uptime wasn't a nice-to-have.
- 2014 - 2016
Web Developer · Novarad
Healthcare sites and patient portals for radiology clinics across the US. HIPAA is not optional, and neither is making the thing usable.
- 2012 - 2014
Jr. Admin · Bluehost
Watched over 300 production servers. Kernel updates, migrations, 3am issues. It's where I learned that 'it works on my machine' is not a strategy.
