I'm James Keezer, a full-stack developer building stuff for the web.

I made my first websites on Geocities and Angelfire back in the late 90s, and built my own photo-sharing website for my group of friends before Facebook existed.

I've been a bike messenger, worked with people with disabilities, a bike store manager, a stay-at-home dad. Until 8 years ago, I didn't think of myself as a web developer - more of a hobbyist. That is, until I started building web projects for my wife's growing business.

Fast-forward to today, I've built websites and applications that host:

  • Platforms for creating custom websites & embeddable AI tools
  • A private membership website that has had 1000+ members over its lifetime, still going strong
  • A 3-day virtual summit with 7000+ attendees
  • Subscription-based online practice test libraries
  • Personal Portfolios that generate leads for commissioned work
