Web & Application Development
25+ years turning complex problems into clean, scalable software. From greenfield builds to AI integrations and legacy modernization — I bring full-stack depth, common sense judgment, and the ability to ship.
Full-Stack Web Applications
End-to-end development from database schema to polished UI. I architect for scale and build for maintainability.
- Laravel / PHP back-ends
- React, Vue, Angular front-ends
- RESTful & GraphQL APIs
- Admin dashboards & portals
- Multi-tenant SaaS platforms
AI & LLM Integration
Bring intelligence to your product. I integrate large language models and build AI-powered workflows that actually work in production.
- Claude API & OpenAI API
- Custom AI agents & pipelines
- Prompt engineering & tuning
- RAG / embeddings workflows
- MCP server development
API Development & Integration
Clean, well-documented APIs and reliable third-party integrations that keep your systems talking to each other.
- REST API design & development
- Webhook systems
- Payment & billing integrations
- CRM & marketing platform hooks
- OAuth / SSO authentication
Legacy Modernization
I've seen codebases from the early 2000s. I know how to untangle the mess, upgrade incrementally, and leave things better than I found them.
- Codebase audits & refactoring
- Framework & PHP version upgrades
- Monolith-to-API migrations
- Performance bottleneck analysis
- Dependency & security hardening
Database Architecture
Schema design that holds up under load, queries that run fast, and data models that don't become technical debt.
- MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL
- Schema design & normalization
- Query optimization & indexing
- Migrations & data pipelines
- NoSQL / MongoDB when it fits
Infrastructure & DevOps
Get your app deployed, stable, and observable. I set up environments that are easy to work in and maintain.
- AWS (EC2, RDS, Beanstalk, S3)
- Ubuntu / RHEL / Amazon Linux
- Docker & containerization
- CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, etc.)
- Nginx / Apache configuration
Years of Diverse Experience
Since 1999, I’ve delivered full-stack solutions for startups, enterprises, and agencies across diverse industries — helping teams ship faster, modernize legacy systems, and improve business outcomes.
Revenue Impact
Built a barter marketplace that surpassed $1M/month in transaction volume within 2 months of launch. I've set up and launched multiple ECommerce sites and helped businesses improve their bottom line with strategic technology integrations.
Actively Building with AI
I integrate LLM capabilities into real applications using OpenAI and Anthropic APIs, with practical workflows built in tools like Cursor and Claude Code.
Adaptable & Versatile
From architecture and development to databases, infrastructure, and process design, I can lead projects end to end or plug into an existing team where needed.
How I Work
I start by listening. Before writing code I make sure I understand your goals, constraints, and what success looks like.
I outline a clear approach — architecture decisions, tech choices, milestones — and get your sign-off before building.
Iterative delivery with regular updates. No black-box development — you see progress as it happens.
Clean code, documentation, and a smooth handoff your team can run with — or I stay on for ongoing work.
Engagement Types
Fixed-scope work with clear deliverables. Great for specific features, integrations, or new product builds.
Dedicated hours each month for teams that need consistent, reliable development capacity without the overhead of a full hire.
Architecture reviews, code audits, technology assessments, or help getting unstuck on a hard problem.
From document/spreadsheet creation to advanced AI topics, let me teach you how to get the most out of technology for your business.
