About

I build the systems that keep businesses running.

Payment flows, automations, queues, internal tooling, and the ongoing work of improving older codebases. I focus on the infrastructure that protects revenue and replaces manual effort with reliable software.

Recent Impact

  • 8,300+ commits across four years Sustained delivery across production systems, refactoring, tooling, and infrastructure at Educational Travel Adventures.
  • Revenue-protecting automation Cancellation systems, payment notifications, and financial workflows that replaced manual intervention with reliable software.
  • Measurable performance gains Brought key workflows from 5-10 seconds down to under one second, alongside ongoing refactoring that improved long-term maintainability.

Tech Stack

  • Core stack: PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, Linux, REST APIs
  • Systems work: queue processing, cron-driven jobs, caching layers, reporting, and operational tooling
  • Integrations: payment processors, SMS providers, email services, and internal platform APIs
  • Engineering habits: refactoring, documentation, bug prevention, security hardening, and performance optimization

Selected Systems

Patterns I’ve delivered repeatedly in production.

  • Automations that run without supervision Background workflows for cancellations, notifications, and routine processes that execute reliably around the clock.
  • Payment and financial infrastructure Processing integrations, encrypted financial data handling, and the supporting systems that protect revenue.
  • Internal platforms and admin tooling Tools for reservation management, contractor workflows, reporting, expense systems, and operational visibility.
  • Legacy modernization through steady refactoring Incremental cleanup that makes an older codebase faster, safer, and easier to ship from.

Work Style

  • Start from the business problem: understand what failure costs before designing the fix
  • Build systems, not patches: create the mechanism that prevents repeat work
  • Document while shipping: reduce fragility for future maintainers
  • Refactor as part of delivery: leave the codebase healthier than I found it, every time
