Senior Software Engineer · Open-Source Maintainer
I'm a senior software engineer and entrepreneur with 15+ years shipping software, these days mostly in the Laravel ecosystem. I love the whole arc of it: helping startups, untangling legacy systems, and leading Pelican Panel (100k+ downloads) and other open-source tools developers depend on. I still can't find a reason to stop. Got something to build or just want to talk shop? Reach out.

// about
I'm a full-stack engineer focused on migrating legacy systems, optimizing code and database performance, and leading feature development. I'm self-taught, writing code since 2004 and shipping it professionally since 2011. Across those 15+ years I've worked in web application development, backend architecture, and open-source leadership.
Today I work as a Senior Software Engineer specializing in Laravel, PHP, and modern JavaScript (Vue, React, Livewire). I'm the lead maintainer of the open-source Pelican Panel and a former Laravel Livewire Core Team member. I read articles and release notes constantly, so the work I ship stays current with the latest standards and tooling.
