PHP & Python craftsman · Domain-Driven Design · AI / LLM tooling

Senior Web Developer with 10+ years of experience. I care about clean architecture, expressive APIs, and tooling that makes the right thing the easy thing. Lately I split my time between the Laravel/PHP ecosystem, a fluent testing toolkit for Python, and building AI / LLM tooling for prompt evaluation, agent instruction systems, and MCP. I'm also exploring how to turn scattered operational signals into actionable intelligence.

I read Sci-fi, listen to Synthwave, and run on coffee. ☕

Let's build something. Always up for a good architecture chat or a coffee. ☕
