Fourteen years across product, freelance and in-house teams — building the operational systems businesses actually run on, with React, Laravel, Vue JS and Python.
Fourteen years of building the systems businesses actually run on — and handing them over in a state someone else can maintain.
Inventory, accounting, construction monitoring, enrollment, hospital records, booking. Not landing pages — the operational software a business depends on every day, from database schema through to the screen staff actually use.
CodeIgniter and Laravel through to React, Vue and Python. Long enough in this to have watched frameworks come and go, and to choose the one whoever inherits the codebase will thank me for.
Two years training developers in Microsoft .NET, and years of freelance work scoping directly with clients before a line of code was written. You get progress you can follow, not a black box.
End-to-end business systems — inventory, accounting, booking, enrollment and hospital management.
Marketing and service sites built and maintained on WordPress for agency clients.
Modelling and organising relational data for maintainable systems.
Breaking down business requirements into workable technical solutions.
Exploring new tools and approaches, including custom data scraping.
OOP practice across PHP, C#, C++ and Visual Basic.
Networking fundamentals plus hands-on computer troubleshooting and hardware support.
Systems left in a state the next developer can pick up — schema, structure and reasoning explained.
Web applications delivered across the freelance and in-house roles above. Every one is a solo build: no team and no handed-down spec — I took each from the client’s idea through system architecture, database design, business logic and interface, to deployment and the support that came after. Three of them open here on the page — two you can click through, and a manual you can read.
Applications and sites built, or kept running, as their full stack developer. Each card opens the live site in a new tab.
Built and maintained during the Vizsion Incorporated period. Designs were produced by the in-house graphics designer; my work was the development.
