More About COBAWeb Experience
Web Development
I develop custom web solutions with Next JS, Typescript, and back-end APIs with the MERN tech stack, developing custom front-end websites that create seemless experiences for customers.
Tool Integration
I integrate websites & tools with custom APIs that enhance the user experience; connecting project management software, contact forms, lead-generations, web analytics, and more.
Graphic Design
I have been a photographer & designer for over 12 years. Applying my creative skillset to web development, I create better connections between businesses and their clients.
This is a NextJS website
This website is a perfect example of what I can do with custom React. This entire site was built in less than 40 working hours, including design, photography, and even the backend api. This site is complete with mobile responsiveness using media query selectors in Tailwind CSS as well as state management and event listeners (The intro video is a placeholder until onCanPlay has been executed after component mounting).
This site is even connected to a Node Backend API hosted on Render which manages my contact form. When you submit a contact request, the backend API creates a new entry in my project management software (Asana). Even the development environment utilizes variables that keep videos & certain analytics from running while not in production with Netlify, showcasing my understanding of environment control.
Although I would need enterprise security coaching, I have demonstrated an ability to create full stack solutions, and have deployed them for my clients, including secure access with HTTP-only cookies to manage authentication, authorization and session management.
I want to be clear, I am self-taught utilizing YouTube and CodeWithMosh, but I have been developing sites and tools for customers for over three years, including:
- Custom Front-End Designs
- Realtime Metrics Dashboards
- Analytics Components
- Employee Resource Portals
- Job Openings Portals
- Tool Integrations
My Experience with AI

I have implemented LLM usage across multiple departments; leveraging Gemini, Chat GPT, and Grok for competitor research, data analysis, brand safety, and full project auditing + better email management with Copilot.
Creative Media
Leveraging 10+ years of creative design experience, combined with new media generation using AI, I have created full-funnel advertisements & 3D media that goes further with better quality.
Agentic Solutions
Utilizing N8N combined with omni-models, I have implemented sales research assistance, automated social media management, and customer service agents across business sectors.
I've partnered with religious leaders and instructors to begin work creating a kids show produced entirely with AI. Quiver Ministries has been started with the mission of developing a bible series that covers core concepts of scripture in bite-sized chunks that are easy for young kids to digest, developed primarly with AI video-generation.
I Have An Idea.
