privacy is important in the digital age.

ABOUT

Hi, my name is

Spike O'Carroll

I’m a web developer, graphic designer and Software Engineering student based in Irvine, California. I began programming on GitHub in 2016 where I discovered the fantastic network of collaboration and creativity that is the open source community.

TESTIMONIALS

Hear it from
my clients.

Spike creates the design you envision and then enhances it with his high-tech capabilities and creative flair. Spike’s acumen and intuitive spice enhanced our website enormously. Spike illuminated our message with such clarity that one of our products was offered funding within the first week of going live. We are excited to continue to expand our website with Spike.

Spike was an absolute joy to work with on this project. He is extremely responsive, professional, and communicative. I loved the process from the start- Spike presented clear branding ideas and options that were in line with the company's core values. Throughout the process, Spike accepted and executed notes in a timely and effective manner. He guided us through the process of going live and we couldn’t be more pleased with the final result! It's aesthetically pleasing, easy to navigate, and formatted perfectly.
