Full-stack Laravel developer with four years shipping production php apps — editorial cms, fintech, gaming, internal tools — for clients across canada, the us, and malaysia. Eight prior years leading architectural and project-management work on developments up to 480 acres and 150,000 sqft. I write code natively, use ai tooling where it earns its keep, and bring design discipline + project ownership to every codebase i touch.
