I’m a seasoned, self-motivated programmer with extensive experience across diverse environments, and I’m always looking for “bigger and badder problems to solve.” I focus on turning real-world workflows into reliable software—especially the under-the-hood systems that make products feel seamless.

As a Sr. Backend Developer at OpsTel Services LLC (2022-present), I built enterprise software for managing employee and training schedules. I’m the primary developer behind systems that automatically generate schedules and resolve schedule conflicts, using Laravel stacks with MariaDB/Postgres, Redis, and Docker.

Before that, I worked as an independent contractor (2021-2022), delivering sales and promotional websites for e-commerce and retail businesses. I interfaced directly with customers to discuss requirements, provide support, and build across a wide variety of stacks, including WordPress, Laravel, vanilla PHP, C# backends, and Vue (or vanilla JS + jQuery) frontends.

I’ve also led full-stack development for auction checkout and order fulfillment, including international shipping support for unusual products (cars, antique firearms, objets d’art). I designed and built a fantasy sports application integrated with the Yahoo Fantasy API, developed a vending machine telemetry and delivery routing suite with automatic invoicing aggregation, and created a web platform for social media/marketing/e-commerce with automatic charitable donation delivery using CakePHP and extensive custom jQuery.
