Today: Laravel at scale.
Senior Full-Stack Engineer at HomeSource Systems. A Laravel ERP SaaS for independent appliance & furniture retailers.
Build features on a large-scale Laravel ERP SaaS for appliance and furniture retailers: vendor EDI integrations, financial systems (AP, AR, tax), delivery scheduling, and enterprise data pipelines. Daily work across Laravel internals: Eloquent modeling and query optimization, queued jobs and Redis-backed workers, middleware, service providers, events and broadcasting, and cache layers. Ship with PHPUnit coverage and contribute to the platform’s frontend migration to React / Next.js.
How I work now
- AI for the volume. Claude and ChatGPT for first drafts, boilerplate, test scaffolding and digging through docs.
- Me for the judgment. Architecture, data models, code review, edge cases, security, and deciding what not to build.
- The result. Faster delivery without lowering the bar.
