I ship production software fast — and it works. 10+ years building enterprise web applications. I've led a Magento 2.x platform across 60+ stores, built API integrations for booking platforms (Vrbo, Expedia), and currently maintain 20+ production SaaS applications through my company VisionQuest Services. What makes me different: I use Claude Code as my primary development tool across every project. AI handles implementation speed; I handle architecture, security, and quality. The result is shipping velocity that would normally require a team, backed by 1,800+ automated E2E tests. WHAT I DO BEST: - PHP/Laravel/WordPress development and customization - API integrations (REST, SOAP, payment gateways, CRM systems) - Data migrations and legacy PHP modernization - E-commerce platforms (Magento, WooCommerce, Shopify) - Database design and optimization (MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL) - AWS deployment and infrastructure (certified Cloud Practitioner) - Web scraping and automation pipelines ALSO CAPABLE (via AI-accelerated development): - Python scripting and automation - Node.js / TypeScript backend services - Vue.js / React frontend work I'm looking for well-defined projects where I can deliver quickly and cleanly. WordPress plugin fixes, API integrations, data migrations, and full app builds are my sweet spot. I communicate clearly, I hit deadlines, and my code is tested.
