Modern PHP, built to last
PHP still powers the majority of the web — and in 2026 it's faster, safer, and more capable than ever. I build with the modern stack: PHP 8.5, Laravel, typed code, and high-performance runtimes like FrankenPHP.
Whether you're launching a new product, scaling an existing app, or rescuing a legacy codebase, I deliver clean, maintainable PHP that won't fall apart six months later. Deep expertise across the full LAMP stack — Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP — means I handle everything from the database schema to the server config.
No agency overhead, no junior hand-offs. You work directly with an experienced engineer who ships production-ready code on schedule.

Full-stack PHP engineering for businesses that need real software — not templates.
Custom PHP Development
Bespoke web applications, admin panels, dashboards, and business tools — architected with modern, typed PHP 8.x for performance and long-term maintainability.
Laravel & Frameworks
Production apps built on Laravel and Symfony — Eloquent ORM, queues, auth, real-time features, and clean MVC structure that your next developer will actually thank you for.
REST & GraphQL APIs
API-first backends that power mobile apps, SPAs, and third-party integrations. Secure authentication, versioning, rate limiting, and clear documentation included.
AI Integration
Bring AI into your PHP app — LLM-powered features, chatbots, smart search, and content automation via OpenAI, Claude, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Practical AI that ships, not hype.
LAMP Stack & DevOps
End-to-end Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP setup, tuning, and deployment. Caching with Redis, zero-downtime releases, and server configs that stay fast under real traffic.
Performance & Scaling
Slow site? I profile bottlenecks, optimize MySQL queries, add caching layers, and deploy high-throughput runtimes like FrankenPHP to make your app fly.
Security & Legacy Rescue
Upgrade end-of-life PHP, patch vulnerabilities, and harden authentication. I bring aging codebases up to modern, secure standards without breaking what works.
E-Commerce & Payments
Custom storefronts, checkout flows, and secure payment gateway integration (Stripe, PayPal, and more). Built to handle real catalogs, real traffic, and real sales.
The Stack I Work In
Battle-tested tools for building reliable, modern web software.
