The Story

Hi! My name is Tony — I've also gone by Patrity for many years. I'm a full-stack developer with a passion for problem solving and a love for learning. I've been programming for over 20 years and working professionally for over 10.

I specialize in hands-on web development with local small businesses, bringing them to the future and enhancing their online presence. In 2026, an online presence is essential for any business. I've helped several small businesses build custom solutions — customer portals, e-commerce platforms, and whatever unique challenges they face.

Beyond code, I curate content, edit video, source sponsorships, and manage social media for Fireship, one of the leading programming channels on YouTube with over 4 million subscribers. I've been with the channel since 2022 and have expanded into script writing and full productions.

By day, I work in industrial construction project controls on multi-billion dollar mega projects — managing progress, forecasts, projections, and budgets. This unique intersection lets me leverage my development skills to aggregate, visualize, and manage data at massive scale.

The Starting Point

Construction Field + Self-Taught Dev

By day (2011–2016), working hands-on in civil and survey crews — learning construction from the ground up. By night (2006–2016), teaching myself to code through game development, MMORPGs, and countless side projects. Learned HTTP, relational databases, OOP, and software architecture the hard way — by building things that broke.
