Lead Developer
Dazion Sparks
I'm a Senior Software Developer that is dedicated to crafting others visual concepts into captivating realities. I infuse vitality into brands and designs, transforming businesses scalablity.
About me
As a driven developer from Detroit with a passion for building clean, functional digital experiences, my journey began with curiosity and a laptop. That curiosity led me to Macomb Community College, where I immersed myself in computer science and sharpened my skills in both design and programming. I’ve always been fascinated by how design meets logic—and how thoughtful code can spark ideas to life. After years of learning, experimenting, and refining my craft, I founded Spark Align: an agency where development, creativity, and scalability are the standard. Whether it's a brand-new product or a full redesign, I bring a deep attention to detail, a client-first mindset, and the kind of work ethic that’s rooted in purpose and passion.
