Backend & Web

I’ve done a fair amount of backend and web work, for clients and for side-projects. My focus has usually been on the systems behind the scenes: the platforms, APIs and logic that make a website actually work, rather than just the surface.

My framework of choice is Laravel. It’s powerful and extendable, and it makes it easy to write code that stays clean and maintainable as a project grows.

Two things I particularly enjoy:

Modernizing old codebases

A lot of projects come to me as legacy code that’s hard to work with. I like untangling and refactoring it: bringing old systems up to date, cleaning up the parts that have gotten gnarled over time, and making the whole thing easier to build on.

New, exciting projects

Just as much, I like starting from a blank page. Taking on a new project with room to make real decisions about architecture and approach is where I do my best work.

If you’ve got a project in mind, or an old codebase that needs a proper refresh, email me or book a call.
