ABOUT ME
Passionate about Developing, Specializing in APIs and Integrations
Passionate about Developing, Specializing in APIs and Integrations
I am a Php/Laravel Architect and Developer who's been working in the field for over 10 years. I started out maintaining legacy systems, where I learned how to traverse and debug complex code. From there, I was introduced to Clean Code, Gang of Four Design Patterns, and Agile Principles. With an improved sense of design I was able to write some pretty complex services without needing to sacrifice quality for speed. To quote Bob Martin, “the only way to go fast is to go well”.

After being set on the path of design patterns and principles, I've learned all I can. I consciously reach for patterns that best-fit the task at hand, as a way to ensure clean, maintainable code. Writing in a way that "feels right" is extremely important to me.

A UML editor that leverages a local LLM to generate code from the design specs drawn therein. Entirely local, no subscriptions needed. The design is the work, so that the code can just be an auto-generated interpolation.
