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.

What I Build
Services & Capabilities

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
Why Me
What Sets Me Apart
25+

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.

$1M+

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.

AI

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.

Full-Stack

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
1
Understand the Problem

I start by listening. Before writing code I make sure I understand your goals, constraints, and what success looks like.

2
Plan & Align

I outline a clear approach — architecture decisions, tech choices, milestones — and get your sign-off before building.

3
Build & Communicate

Iterative delivery with regular updates. No black-box development — you see progress as it happens.

4
Deliver & Hand Off

Clean code, documentation, and a smooth handoff your team can run with — or I stay on for ongoing work.

Engagement Types
Contract / Freelance Projects

Fixed-scope work with clear deliverables. Great for specific features, integrations, or new product builds.

Ongoing Retainer

Dedicated hours each month for teams that need consistent, reliable development capacity without the overhead of a full hire.

Technical Consulting

Architecture reviews, code audits, technology assessments, or help getting unstuck on a hard problem.

Mentoring/Education

From document/spreadsheet creation to advanced AI topics, let me teach you how to get the most out of technology for your business.
