Hi there, I'm Dawson.
I'm a Texas-based freelance web developer helping small businesses build a stronger online presence and stand out in a crowded digital landscape.
About Me
I design and build modern, mobile-first websites and web applications for small businesses. With a B.S. in Computer Science from Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi and a background in both business and technology, I build sites that look great and do their job: bringing in customers. I love a new challenge, and I'm happiest when I'm helping a business show up online the way it deserves to.
