Who I am

Senior full-stack developer.
End-to-end delivery.

I've been building software professionally since 2015 — starting at Optimize IT 4U, then through agency and enterprise environments at The Relevance Network, ELCB, and Whitehart, before going independent under Inspire in 2025. Across that decade I've shipped everything from government document management systems to consumer mobile apps.

My stack is deep in the Laravel / React / Inertia ecosystem, with strong mobile delivery through React Native. I'm comfortable taking a project from whiteboard to production — architecture, backend, frontend, and deployment.

I work best on complex, multi-layered platforms where the real challenge is system design, not just the UI.
