# background
i started as a constructional architect — built environments, architectural visualisation, project
management — the whole 9 yards. i left that behind and fell hard for code and never went back. these
days i'm full-stack with a keen eye for design, but my comfort zone is shipping laravel apps that solve
everyday business problems.
# what i'm into right now
- building maintainable laravel apps for real client workflows
- automation around forms, dashboards, imports, exports, queues, and apis
- the boring-but-critical stuff: auth, billing, queues, error handling, deploys
# how i work
deliberate, written-first. i can run a project solo end-to-end or slot into a team — and i'm
comfortable leading one when that's what's needed. i ask questions early, communicate proactively, and
care about shipping things that actually get used. my experience as an architect and project manager
means everything is built aesthetically and thoughtfully. i value clear communication and shared
understanding, as they say god is in the details.
