Hey, I'm Cory Parrish
I'm an independent creative
developer based in Los Angeles,
with 4 years of experience building
fast, minimal, and expressive
websites. This site is a portfolio of
my work and process.
Journey
Journey
I started my tech journey during
2020, initially dabbling in building
algo trading bots — which weren't
successful by any measures financially,
but they were successful in sparking
my curiosity into creative coding. As
a self-taught developer, my eyes were
shaped through art as a kid, working
around fashion, and being surrounded
by aesthetics that demanded taste
and precision. That background still
shapes how I work today. I pay close
attention to proportion, tone, and
interaction. I like things that feel
intentional — in layout, in motion,
and in behavior. As a developer,
I bring that perspective into building
apps. Whether I'm building from
scratch or collaborating on an
existing system.
Approach
I build with purpose and performance
in mind—starting with a strong
foundation and enhancing from there.
Websites are, at their core, meant
to deliver information. Unless designed
solely as an experience, they should
work well across all devices, browsers,
and even in degraded environments.
That's why I begin with a fast, accessible,
SEO-friendly base: clean HTML and CSS,
rendered server-side (SSR) for the best
performance and usability.

JavaScript enhancements for smooth transitions,

the UX without compromising core functionality.

WebGL and shader-based effects, when called for,
to bring life that goes beyond what plain
JavaScript can offer.
