I'm Vlad, the creator behind 5funk.com, combining my passion for web development with my love for Caribbean culture. Over the past 7 years, I've split my time between coding projects and exploring tropical paradises, working remotely from over 25 countries.
My journey began with a computer science degree, but my true education has come from island hopping through the Caribbean, learning from local cultures, and capturing these vibrant experiences through my work and photography.
Building responsive, accessible websites and web applications using modern technologies.
Creating intuitive and beautiful user interfaces with a focus on user experience.
Capturing the vibrant colors and laid-back vibes of Caribbean islands through my lens.
Exploring the Caribbean and beyond, one paradise at a time. Here are highlights from my tropical journeys.
White sand beaches and crystal clear waters of Bavaro Beach, my current home base in the Caribbean.
Seven Mile Beach and the famous Rick's Cafe cliff jumping spot in Negril.
Swimming with pigs at Big Major Cay and the stunning sandbars of Exuma.
Exploring the City of Lights during spring, capturing the beauty of the Eiffel Tower at golden hour.
