My journey in tech started in 1992 at the age of 11. The spark started when I walked into my middle school’s computer class for the first time and I instantly became fascinated with how to program games in BASIC. From there, I developed a love for building websites and ultimately added marketing and design skills to my toolkit.

Over the years, I worked with agencies and commercial plugin companies, developing diagnostic and team leadership skills.

Tech was a lifeline during one of the hardest moments in my life. At a point when I faced the uncertainty of homelessness with my son and family pets, I pursued entrepreneurship and started tabomango. It gave me more than a way out; it gave me purpose, stability and the confidence to rebuild.

Along the way, I found a community of open source enthusiasts who believe in collaboration and encouragement. That sense of belonging changed everything for me. That’s why I am committed to empowering others to overcome their challenges, find their strength and thrive with their digital properties.

Everything I build is bootstrapped, so every sponsorship has a visible impact. Here is what your support makes possible:

• Free plugins, maintained: ongoing development and updates, so the tools stay secure and working for everyone who relies on them
• Video tutorials and training:  walkthroughs that save people hours of trial and error
• Courses: structured learning for those who want to manage their own sites and learn marketing strategy 
• Downloads and templates: ready-to-use resources that give people a head start

Thank you for believing in what I’m building!
