Building software
that scales, integrates, and performs in production.
Full Stack Engineer specializing in Laravel/PHP architecture, API integrations, and workflow automation for enterprise and regulated operations — now shipping faster with AI-assisted development, without giving up ownership of the hard decisions.
Systems thinking, shipped as code.
Over 10+ years, I've moved from writing code to owning outcomes — architecting the backend systems, integrations, and automation that operations teams depend on every day, across regulated enterprise environments and fast-moving remote-first teams.
I think in systems, not tickets. Before I ship a change, I'm asking how it fails under load, what happens when a third-party API goes down mid-sync, and how the next engineer will understand it six months from now — a mindset built from years of owning production systems where downtime and data integrity had real operational consequences.
My core strength is full-stack delivery anchored in Laravel and PHP, backed by systems-level thinking: queue-driven background processing, resilient API synchronization, and reporting pipelines that stay accurate at scale. I pair that with modern frontend work in React and Vue, so I can own a feature from database schema to shipped UI.
AI-assisted development is now part of how I ship — I use tools like Claude Code as a force multiplier for speed and code quality, while every architectural decision, tradeoff, and review still runs through me.

AI-Assisted Engineering
Where I create the most value
Skill areas that show up in almost everything I ship — from a single Laravel endpoint to a full integration platform.
Full Stack Engineering
End-to-end ownership from database schema to shipped UI, in Laravel/PHP and React/Vue.
System Architecture
Designing backend systems that stay maintainable and observable as scope and scale grow.
API Integrations
Reliable, well-synchronized integrations across third-party platforms with airtight data integrity.
Workflow Automation
Queue-driven automation that removes manual, repeatable work from real operations.
Database Engineering
Schema design, query optimization, and pipeline engineering across MySQL and MongoDB.
Reporting & Compliance
Audit-ready reporting systems built for regulated, high-stakes operational environments.
Cloud & DevOps
AWS-hosted, Docker-based deployments with CI/CD pipelines built for reliability.
AI-Assisted Development
Using AI tooling as a force multiplier for delivery speed, while owning every architectural call.
Building with AI in the loop, not around it
AI-assisted development has become a core part of how I deliver — used deliberately, reviewed carefully, and always with a human architecture decision behind it.
I use Claude Code and similar AI coding tools daily as a pairing partner for scaffolding, refactors, and exploring unfamiliar codebases faster — treating prompt engineeringas a real skill for getting reliable, structured output rather than one-off guesses. On the automation side, I've been exploring AI workflow automation and lightweight AI agents to handle repetitive operational tasks, and experimenting with LLM integration patterns — including routing requests through providers like OpenRouter — to understand how AI capabilities plug into existing backend systems.
The backend patterns I reach for
Systems that process data reliably, integrate cleanly, and stay observable under real production load.
Background Workers
Long-running jobs that process data off the request cycle without blocking users.
Queue Systems
Queue-driven pipelines built to handle large, bursty volumes without dropping work.
API Synchronization
Two-way sync services that keep third-party platforms and internal systems consistent.
Docker
Containerized services for consistent local, staging, and production environments.
AWS
Cloud-hosted infrastructure sized and configured for real operational reliability.
CI/CD
Automated build, test, and deploy pipelines that keep releases fast and safe.
Large-Scale Reporting
Reporting and analytics pipelines that stay accurate as data volume grows.
Compliance-Ready Systems
Audit trails, e-signatures, and access control for regulated environments.
Experience
- Own backend systems and operational workflows in Laravel, PHP, MySQL, and REST APIs supporting core business operations end-to-end.
- Built and maintain API integrations and synchronization services connecting multiple third-party platforms with reliable, audit-safe data integrity.
- Designed background job and queue-based processing to handle large-scale data reliably without blocking user-facing systems.
- Drove workflow automation initiatives that removed manual, repeatable work from day-to-day operations.
- Act as first responder for production issues — diagnosing root causes and shipping fixes that improve system reliability.
- Promoted to lead the Information Management Department, owning software systems, technical planning, and infrastructure strategy.
- Directed the SDLC end-to-end — requirements, architecture, development, testing, deployment, and long-term maintenance — for enterprise systems.
- Built and enforced compliance-ready systems (cGMP, cGLP, SOPs, 21 CFR Part 11) with electronic records, audit trails, and e-signatures.
- Delivered full-stack enterprise applications spanning Laravel, Yii, Node.js, React, MySQL, and MongoDB.
- Designed, built, and maintained internal software systems supporting core organizational operations.
- Ran day-to-day operations of the IT department, balancing new development against system upkeep.
- Built the technical track record that led to promotion into department leadership in 2021.
- One of three engineers building a project management software platform from the ground up.
- Delivered websites, CMS platforms, and business applications for national and international clients.
- Owned hosting, domain configuration, and direct technical support for client deployments — early exposure to full-cycle ownership beyond just writing code.
From Web Developer to full-stack systems owner
The scope of what I own has grown every step of the way — from writing pages to architecting the systems a business runs on.
