How I
Build.
I'm a full-stack developer who goes deep on PHP/Laravel and React/TypeScript. Here's how I think about building software.

How I Think About Tech
Pragmatism Over Dogma
The best tool is the one that solves the problem. I choose technologies based on context, not hype.
Depth Over Breadth
I'd rather deeply understand five tools than superficially know fifty. Mastery compounds.
Open Source First
I believe in giving back. Most of what I know came from open-source communities.
Ship, Then Iterate
Perfect is the enemy of shipped. I build fast, gather feedback, and refine relentlessly.

What I Go Deep On
PHP / Laravel
6 years
My foundation. I've built everything from scrappy MVPs to production systems handling millions of requests with Laravel. It's the tool I reach for when reliability and speed-to-ship both matter. Java and Symfony are also a great fit.
See projectsReact / Next.js / Tanstack
5 years
My go-to for anything interactive. From complex dashboards to this very site, React's component model clicks with how I think about UI. TypeScript makes it even better. Vanilla is a solid choice, I choose the right one for the task.
See projectsTypeScript
4 years
I don't write JavaScript without it anymore. Type safety isn't just about catching bugs — it's about designing better interfaces and communicating intent through code.
DevOps & Infrastructure
4 years
Docker, CI/CD pipelines, cloud architecture — I care about the full lifecycle. Code that can't be deployed reliably isn't done.

Growth Timeline
The Spark
Started building websites with PHP and jQuery. Fell in love with the craft of turning ideas into interactive experiences.
Going Full-Stack
Picked up React and Node.js. Built my first SaaS product and learned the hard way about database design.
Open Source Era
Began contributing to open-source projects. Learned TypeScript deeply and embraced modern tooling.
Cloud & Scale
Dove into DevOps, containerization, and cloud architecture. Managed infrastructure serving millions of requests.
AI & Beyond
Integrated AI into workflows, explored LLM applications, and pushed boundaries of what's possible in the browser.
Present
Building elegant, high-performance applications. Focused on DX, open-source, and continuous learning.
