For nearly 10 years I have developed dozens of large custom web applications focusing on a wide-range of industries including government agencies, custom search engines, affiliate marketing, real estate solutions and worker safety. As an autodidact, I pride myself on learning new technologies and continually improving my skill-set. As a freelancer, I believe in professionalism, communication, clean code and representing my craft to the highest degree possible. On the server-side, Laravel 5.3 is my current framework of choice. For the data layer, I have many years of experience with MySQL/MariaDB, Postgres, Oracle and NoSQL. Lately, I've been using ElasticSearch for full-text searching. On the client-side, I prefer Angular.js & Node.js & React.js & VueJS and just about any CSS framework, although I am most comfortable with Bootstrap. If you're looking to build an API for your project, I'd choose Laravel/Lumen using Passport for authentication. If you need to integrate an existing API, I have experience with many, including Amazon, Box, Stripe, Facebook, Twitter, PayPal and Google.
