I'm a senior PHP developer with over 24 years of experience — from WordPress and Joomla to custom Laravel applications and infrastructure-aware systems. Building since 1998 gives me something most developers don't: genuine perspective on what makes a system reliable, secure, and maintainable long-term. I don't chase trends. I build things that last. When you hire me, you work directly with the developer writing your code. No outsourcing, no account managers, no miscommunication. Based in Florida, operating under Milife Solutions as a solo senior developer. I handle UX/UI as part of the build — thinking through layout, user flow, and interface logic before a line of code is written. No handoff between designer and developer. Same person, start to finish. WordPress & CMS Development WordPress is my primary CMS focus. I build custom themes, configure WooCommerce stores, improve performance, repair compromised sites, handle migrations, and keep installations secure and maintainable. I also support Joomla — increasingly rare expertise — for organizations that depend on it and need knowledgeable ongoing support. Laravel & Custom PHP Applications For projects that have outgrown a standard CMS, I build with Laravel and custom PHP. Recent work includes a structured publishing platform with role-based access control and post lifecycle management, and a custom developer dashboard centralizing a Docker environment with live health checks and AWS Lightsail integration. Full stack: backend systems, admin panels, API integrations, and database-driven applications. This is the direction I'm actively growing into — infrastructure-aware development, custom tooling, and applications that go well beyond a standard CMS. If that's the kind of project you're working on, I'd like to hear about it. Front-End Development Responsive, mobile-first layouts using HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap, and Tailwind. Clean, fast, and built to convert. Hosting & AWS I'm comfortable working within hosted environments — including AWS Lightsail and basic EC2/S3 setups — for deployment support, DEV/PROD separation, and environment configuration on small-to-mid-scale projects. This isn't my primary focus, but I can handle what most WordPress and Laravel projects reasonably require.
