Full-stack developer building with Laravel, React and Claude Code

I build the apps that ship on Friday and still run on Monday.

Laravel back ends, React front ends and AI workflows, wired into the tools your team already uses. Six years across agencies, startups and my own products.

A short note, before the numbers get loud.

I started out fixing spreadsheets that had quietly become the company database. Somewhere around the hundredth broken formula it clicked: the problem was never the people. It was the system.

So I learned Laravel, then React, then how to ship on the edge. That is still the job: understand the workflow, model the data, build the tool, and let people get back to the work that matters.

P.S.

If your team still runs on spreadsheets, let’s fix that.

Twenty minutes, no deck. Bring the workflow that slows you down and I’ll tell you what I’d build first, even if we never work together.
