I build high-volume Laravel and React products, integrations, and scalable delivery systems.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
At Robodocxs, I integrate commercial LLMs into a high-volume production pipeline, re-architected ERP onboarding from days to hours, and built configuration systems that tripled processing volume. I also rebuilt a Vue.js training interface, reducing support tickets by 75% and making tasks 3x faster.
I've spent 13+ years building Laravel and React applications and previously ran Ralphowino Consulting, delivering 25+ products across five countries and generating $700K+ in revenue. As a former CTO and technical leader, I've led distributed teams of 20+ engineers, migrations, REST APIs, production integrations, and data-intensive systems.
