Alexander has been building websites professionally for over a decade — across Drupal, WordPress, GatsbyJS, Webflow, and the modern Astro + Sanity + Cloudflare stack that FlintHorn builds on today. He’s worked on everything from small business sites to multi-tenant MLS platforms, government accessibility remediations, and headless CMS architectures.
He brings a developer’s precision to every project — which means SEO and performance aren’t treated as add-ons, they’re built into how the code is written.
He also built Newt, FlintHorn’s proprietary lead qualification tool, because he kept solving the same problem for clients and decided to build it properly once.
