In 2025, after a season of transition and surrender, I felt God's clear invitation to step into ministry.
Like Peter lowering his nets at a word he didn't fully understand yet — I said yes. This space is where
both worlds meet: the work I've built, and the calling I'm walking into.

Men's Encounter — Ministry Event Registration Platform
A full-featured event management web application built for a regional men's ministry weekend event.
