About Me

One developer who speaks both design and database.

My path started in 2014, fresh out of Saint Louis University, pulling fiber optic cable as a network technician — which is where the troubleshooting instincts come from. Since then I've spent eight-plus years building production software: five-plus years deep in the Laravel and WordPress ecosystems and three-plus years of advanced Symfony work. Because I own the whole stack, nothing gets lost in translation between "the frontend person" and "the backend person": I architect it, build it, test it, and run it in production.

  • Complete lifecycle ownership — from relational database design to Forge-managed production servers
  • Pragmatic architecture — built to grow, not to impress other engineers
  • Validated, functionally tested code that ships only when it is ready
  • Clear, jargon-free communication and honest timelines

Services

Everything your product needs to ship

Hire one developer, get a whole product team's worth of capability.

Custom Web Applications

Bespoke Laravel and Symfony platforms built around your business — dashboards, portals, SaaS products — designed to scale with you.

E-commerce Solutions

Complete online stores on WooCommerce or custom Laravel builds — carts, secure payments, order management — like the shop on this very site.

API Development & Integration

Clean, documented REST APIs — plus integrations with Stripe, shipping providers, CRMs, and any third-party service you rely on.

Performance Optimization

Slow app? I profile queries, add caching, tune servers, and trim frontend payloads until it feels instant.

WordPress & Custom Plugins

Custom plugins, ACF-powered content systems, and pixel-perfect WooCommerce builds your team can manage without a developer on call.

Consultation & Product Strategy

For small and medium businesses unsure where to start: together we design the solution that actually fits — so your product feels like a brand people trust, feels simple the first time someone uses it, and launch day feels like confidence instead of crossed fingers.
