About Me

I’m Adrian Phan, a full-stack web developer and digital creator based in Las Vegas. Over the past 20 years, I’ve built everything from enterprise-level SaaS applications to boutique marketing websites for restaurants, influencers, and coaching businesses. My toolbox includes WordPress (Sage/ACF/Timber), Drupal, Laravel, React, and Next.js — with a strong focus on clean design systems, smooth integrations, and performance optimization.

My wife keeps me grounded and inspired every step of the way, while my kids remind me to stay curious, creative, and patient. I’m also a graffiti enthusiast and love sports. Outside of work, you’ll find me capturing graffiti art, exploring street culture, or spending time with my family. I believe tech and creativity should always work hand-in-hand.

🎨 Interests

Outside of coding, I’m passionate about graffiti art, sports, and street culture. I enjoy capturing graffiti murals around Las Vegas, watching and playing sports, and exploring how creativity and technology intersect. These passions fuel my perspective as both a developer and creator.

🌍 Places I've Been
