A Senior Software Engineer. I have experience developing PHP applications in a number of paradigms but love using the Laravel ecosystem the most.

I'm most experienced in back-end engineering and have skills with query optimization, writing feature tests, and API design.

You won’t find me chasing new, trendy tools. I’ve come to love mature, well-tested, open source tools and frameworks - professionally and personally! In this way I tend to lean towards technologies like PHP, Laravel, Linux, and vim. Not only are mature tools valuable due to their stability, but their large communities are what turbo-charges them.

At work, I love asynchronous work and remote teams. I’ve been working 100% remotely since 2019. I have the communication skills required to make this work in a distributed team. Jira? Slack hygiene? High quality PRs and reviews? I can do that.
