Hi, I'm Gilbert.

Madera is home. It's where my wife and I are raising our two children, so when I build a site for a Central Valley business, I'm building it for my neighbors. I know what it's like to search for a plumber in July or a landscaper before the rain, and I want local owners to have websites that make that easy for their customers.

I've been building for the web since the GeoCities days, when I was writing online marketing pages one hand-coded page at a time. As a teenager that curiosity turned into programming, and I taught myself PHP, JavaScript and Linux bash scripting. Those same tools, plus a lot of years of practice, are what I use today to build fast, custom sites with booking, quote forms, payments and admin panels that owners can run themselves.

When I'm not at a keyboard, I'm usually outside. Hiking, backpacking and camping are how I recharge, and almost anything out in nature counts. The photo here is from a trail in Joshua Tree National Park.
