🐘 From zoos to zeros and ones — I’m a Senior Laravel Engineer with 8+ years of experience crafting robust, scalable backend systems for mission-driven platforms. I started my career in wildlife biology and animal rescue, and that same purpose-driven mindset still guides how I build software today.
🧱 I specialize in architecting clean, efficient SQL database structures and building solid backend foundations that power everything from e-commerce platforms with 1M+ SKUs to legal and healthcare systems with strict compliance requirements. Laravel is my home base, with tools like Inertia.js, Vue, and Pest rounding out my stack.
⚙️ I thrive on the backend—designing data models, managing complex relationships, and building systems that are fast, secure, and a joy to maintain. Whether it’s API design, multi-tenant logic, or background processing, I’m all about clean architecture and reliable performance.
🧠 I bring technical leadership, deep curiosity, and an eye for accessible, user-friendly design—even when I’m neck-deep in backend code. I care about the humans behind the features and love turning complex problems into thoughtful solutions.
