Laravel • PHP • MySQL • React • API Integration • Secure Coding
I'm a U.S.-based Full Stack Developer with deep expertise in building secure, scalable web applications using the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP). With 15+ years of experience spanning federal systems, healthcare, education, and e-commerce, I bring strong technical skills, clean code, and clear communication to every project.
✅ What I Offer:
Laravel & PHP Development: Robust backend architecture, MVC structure, migrations, middleware, form validation, and RESTful services.
Frontend Development: React, Vue.js, jQuery, Bootstrap, AJAX, and custom JavaScript for responsive, interactive interfaces.
Database Design & Optimization: Advanced SQL, normalized schema design, performance tuning, stored procedures, and migration scripts using MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle.
API Integration: Build or consume secure APIs with Laravel, Node.js, and Spring Boot. Includes documentation, testing, and token-based authentication.
Legacy System Support: Skilled in maintaining, upgrading, or refactoring older codebases—whether Classic ASP, COBOL, or procedural PHP.
Linux & Cloud Development: LAMP server setup, bash scripting, Docker environments, AWS EC2 configuration, CLI troubleshooting.

🔐 Security-Focused Development:
With a CompTIA Security+ certification and past Public Trust clearance, I build with security in mind—whether you need input sanitization, secure user authentication, HTTPS enforcement, or secure cloud architecture. My background includes working with HIPAA-regulated systems and sensitive government platforms.
💼 Career Highlights:
Sol-Ark: Developed Laravel/React tools for solar energy analytics, managed Docker environments, and deployed secure cloud-based solutions.
U.S. House of Representatives: Improved internal HR/Payroll applications, optimized MySQL queries, and managed code using Git/GitLab.

CodeCraft Mentoring: Mentored developers in PHP, Java, and C++, helping them grow in real-world coding and debugging.
While I haven’t led Agile teams formally, I’ve worked closely within Agile environments—participating in standups, sprints, and code reviews. I’m confident in my ability to take ownership of features, communicate clearly with stakeholders, and deliver clean, maintainable solutions.
