Background
About Me
PHP apps first. Agent work now.
01
PHP & Laravel
Started here. Full-stack apps, MySQL, clients who needed things fixed yesterday.
02
Full-stack web
Node, React, databases, AWS. Same work, bigger piles of code.

AI at Shopos
Agents, Claude, TypeScript and Python services. Still shipping, just a different stack.
I started in PHP — Laravel, MySQL, the usual stack — and spent a long time shipping web apps end to end.
Now I'm an AI engineer at Shopos AI. Day to day that means agent workflows, LLM APIs, and the TypeScript and Python services underneath them.
I still put out open source when something scratches an itch, and I write a post when a problem is worth explaining twice.
