Full-Stack & Backend Development

I specialise in backend-first, full-stack development, with over 20 years of PHP experience and 10+ years of Laravel expertise. I build and maintain production-grade, enterprise-level systems that are reliable, scalable, and well-documented. While my focus is backend engineering, I deliver best-practice code across the full stack — from APIs and databases through to interactive Vue front-ends.

Core skills:

Infrastructure & DevOps

I design and maintain infrastructure that scales, applying Infrastructure as Code, automation, and modern DevOps practices. Alongside Terraform and CI/CD pipelines, I bring hands-on experience with servers and services — meaning I understand the environment beneath Docker and Vagrant, not just how to spin them up.

Core skills:

AI & Automation

I design and implement AI-driven, agentic solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing systems. Rather than simply “dropping in” an API call, I build workflows that combine automation, orchestration, and compliance — delivering real business value. My approach ensures AI isn’t a gimmick, but a reliable, auditable part of production infrastructure.

Core skills:

Professional Leadership & Delivery

I’ve led development both alone and in teams, stepping into critical projects where stability and delivery were at risk. My focus is always on combining hands-on coding with technical leadership — setting direction, modernising legacy platforms, and keeping delivery on track without compromising future scalability.
