Hi there! I’m currently looking for remote part-time contract work. I’m also available to conduct on-site training for any of my current talks, or workshops specific to your needs. Contact me for more info.
Interested in hiring me? Here’s some information to help you decide!
About Me
I discovered programming when I was in high school and took a programming class because it was a math credit. I fell in love with coding and have been solving problems via my keyboard ever since.
I am skilled at rapid development and problem solving with an attitude that anything is possible. I have experience designing and building new applications as well as maintaining and improving legacy projects. I am extremely dedicated and passionate about what I do, and in general kick ass at anything I attempt.
I’m also a frequent speaker at PHP and Open Source Tech conferences and user groups, often presenting on TDD/BDD, code review, best practices such as code review or pair programming or software design in general. In my spare time, I contribute to multiple Open Source projects. I also love comedy, coffee, podcasts and travel.
My Skills
I’ve been working with PHP and related technologies (SQL, HTML, CSS, JS, LAMP, etc) since 2004, and I’m always excited by a challenge and a chance to new skills, languages and methodologies. I practice and preach TDD & BDD and I enjoy modern DevOps (Docker, CI/CD, etc).
I understand SOLID, RESTful API Design and Microservices. I often write modular code that is independent of any framework, but I have experience with Laravel / Lumen, Symfony / Silex and others.

What I’m Looking For
I’m looking for a company that is doing something inspiring – I want to work on a product that is making a difference in people’s lives.
I’m interested in a position where I am empowered to write quality code via TDD, preferably in PHP 7.
I love working on microservices and RESTful APIs, or I can tackle a messy legacy codebase that needs to be maintained and cleaned up.
I greatly enjoy opportunities to mentor my fellow engineers as well as learn from them.
