Bio
Developer since 2011. Most projects I’ve developed include Laravel. I started using Laravel back in 2013 when it was version 4.0. My experience includes integrations with various platforms such as CRMs, payment gateways, flat data file feeds, backend credit card processing systems and more. My motivation comes from creating quality code that brings value to people in positive ways. Constructive criticism is much appreciated and is important for me to grow professionally and personally.

Present
Senior Web Developer – Tidal Commerce
Custom Laravel and Vue JS apps to help streamline the credit card processing industry.
Freelance – Viziality
Started freelancing while in college where I could use skills taught in class and directly apply them. Since then I’ve launched many business websites, Android apps, and WordPress plugins. I offer full service web development from hosting to a finished site. I have also created C# apps for specific business needs. I am not tied to a specific programming language, however most of my work is developed in PHP.

Create custom web application solutions translating complex business problems into solutions. This includes building large scale applications integrating with payment gateways, Google APIs, and much more. I have also developed custom Sugar CRM implementations.
