What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and modernize enterprise web applications, lead technical delivery, improve code quality and test coverage, and work with teams using modern PHP, Laravel, cloud, and AI-assisted development practices.

I've owned architecture and scaling for ComplianceHR's enterprise compliance products, building multi-tenant Laravel applications, RESTful APIs, and GraphQL-powered content workflows.

I lead complex PHP and Laravel upgrades with minimal interruption, optimize MySQL workloads, and build reliable automated test coverage with Playwright and Cypress. I use Claude Code to modernize legacy systems, improve maintainability, and accelerate feature delivery.

Previously, I led a developer pod supporting Apple through Red Oak Technologies and delivered custom CRM/CMS platforms at Apogee Design. I bring hands-on experience with Vue.js, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Jenkins CI/CD, technical mentorship, and backlog ownership.
