What I get hired for.

Legacy systems into SaaS

Breaking monoliths into something that can be sold per seat and deployed without a maintenance window. This is most of what I am hired to do.

High-traffic web applications

Performance work, caching, and schema design for applications that cannot afford to be slow. Sentry and monitoring wired in so problems surface before customers report them.

E-commerce and inventory

Headless WordPress and WooCommerce, multi-inventory systems, and checkout built around how people actually pay in the market you are selling to.

Leading the team that ships

Architecture calls, code review, and mentoring. I have run a team of twelve across Laravel, Symfony, Node.js, FastAPI and Vue without dropping delivery.
