    I build and fix web applications for businesses that need them to actually work. Laravel and PHP on the back end, React and TypeScript on the front. I've been doing this for 19 years, currently as a Top Rated freelancer here, and most of that time on live production systems where downtime costs real money. What I'm most useful for: - Payment and API integrations. I've built and maintained Authorize.Net, Stripe, and PromoStandards integrations on live e-commerce platforms. This is the kind of work where one small mistake double-charges a customer or breaks an order feed. Whether an integration is misbehaving or you're starting one from scratch, this is my home turf. - Adding AI where it actually helps. I integrate LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic) into real applications the same way I integrate any other API, into your existing Laravel or React codebase, with proper auth, error handling, and guardrails. On a live e-commerce platform I built a Claude vision feature that reads each product image and classifies its color family and tone, so the right light or dark logo is applied automatically across a large catalog instead of by hand. Beyond vision, I handle document and invoice extraction, search and Q&A over your own data (RAG), and workflows that use AI to take real actions instead of just generating text. If you've seen a slick demo but need it to survive real users and not fall over in production, that's the gap I close. - Rescuing PHP/Laravel projects that are in trouble. Inherited a codebase nobody understands? Something breaking under load in production? I spend a lot of my time firefighting on a live enterprise platform, so I'm comfortable walking into a mess, finding the real problem, and fixing it without breaking three other things. - Building Laravel and React products end to end. Custom SaaS, CRMs, internal tools, from the database and API up through the UI. When a project needs it, I also handle the infrastructure side, including AWS and queue-based processing for heavy jobs, so you're not left hiring a separate DevOps person. I work US hours, reply quickly, and I'd rather tell you something's a bad idea than quietly build it. Send me what you're working on and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.
