Cody Horn

I'm a full-stack software engineer with 9+ years of experience building, maintaining, and modernizing web applications, APIs, and backend services. My primary strengths are PHP, Laravel, JavaScript, React, Python, and SQL, with experience working across the stack to deliver reliable, maintainable solutions.

Throughout my career, I've worked on everything from modernizing legacy applications to building event-driven workflows and reusable backend services. At Ministry Brands, I helped modernize legacy front-end architecture from jQuery to ReactJS, reducing load times by up to 80%. At Prison Fellowship, I developed event-driven workflows using Redpanda to automate application processing, built reusable filtering and scoring services to support application assignment, and maintained REST APIs and OctoberCMS applications while resolving integration and data consistency issues.

I enjoy solving complex technical problems, improving existing systems, and finding practical ways to make applications more efficient and maintainable. I'm comfortable working across frontend and backend technologies, collaborating on architectural decisions, reviewing code, and helping other developers when needed.

I'm particularly interested in remote full-stack or backend engineering opportunities where I can contribute to meaningful projects, continue growing technically, and work with a team that values clean code, thoughtful engineering, and continuous improvement.
