• Pioneered an agentic AI engineering lifecycle: architected and deployed an autonomous AI-assisted development workflow using Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot, accelerating feature delivery velocity by 300% across 3,000+ production commits with zero deployment regressions.
• Automated AI-driven testing and system documentation: deployed autonomous agent test generators via Claude Code and Cursor to build extensive Pest, PHPUnit, and Playwright suites and real-time architectural documentation, safeguarding mission-critical EHR, billing, and lab fulfillment pathways.
• Engineered modular Electronic Health Record (EHR) pipelines and background scheduling telemetry with Laravel, Filament, Livewire, and Vue, optimizing database query footprints while securely validating patient data entry across service-date, medication, and lab lifecycles.
• Delivered multi-clinic team tenancy (team_id isolation, CurrentTeam middleware, per-clinic credentials) so appointments, SMS, payments, FHIR children, and import/export stay correctly scoped, with strict tenant isolation for hundreds of concurrent clinical operators.
• Implemented and hardened payment operations: NMI Customer Vault charges/terminals, transaction sync/reconciliation queues, failed-vault recovery, Stripe clinic billing webhooks, and staff charge-product tooling used in daily clinic revenue workflows.
• Engineered a real-time clinical communications console: re-platformed multi-clinic messaging into an asynchronous Twilio SMS/MMS hub on Filament, Alpine.js, Livewire, and Laravel Reverb/Echo WebSockets — with scheduled SMS, inbound team isolation, and barcode-driven product charge flows — slashing front-desk administrative overhead by 40%.
• Owned lab, pharmacy, and Rx ops surfaces: Access Labs ordering/results, medication request/lifecycle modals, Fax.Plus clinical fax paths, pharmacy fulfillment visibility, Dymo/shipping labels, and inventory reconciliation hooks.
• Ported and hardened Tebra/Kareo FHIR + patient sync jobs with OAuth token caching, per-team scheduled sync, gender/Postgres compatibility fixes, and patient dedup guards to keep EHR mirrors trustworthy.
• Shipped HIPAA-oriented technical safeguards: forced MFA for staff and patient portal, Brevo HTTPS API mail for email 2FA, an encrypted Integrations credential hub, and audit-friendly import/export locked to the active team.
• Executed a comprehensive frontend modernization from legacy Bootstrap/jQuery to Tailwind CSS v4, Alpine.js, and Vue 3 via Vite, while keeping live clinical workflows stable.
• Maintained 99.9% platform uptime on DigitalOcean by orchestrating zero-downtime deployment pipelines and configuring Laravel Octane worker pools, plus queue/realtime workers, rsync-safe storage, and nginx/php-fpm reloads.

W-2 salaried through June 2022; freelance engineering for Spotlight and other clients continues alongside Prestige.

Ran all technology for a real-estate marketing company for twelve years, working directly with the CEO and staff. I built everything from scratch — the platform, the servers it lived on, the security, and the company's internet marketing and SEO. I led a development team for roughly a quarter of that time; for the other three-quarters I did all of it myself.

• Designed and engineered a complete proprietary full-stack PHP / MySQL framework from scratch to power all core business operations, and built the company's entire real-estate marketing system on it — tours, a custom checkout ecosystem (Authorize.net, First Data / Payeezy) with tiered packages and recurring subscriptions, and deep Acuity Scheduling API customizations.
• Owned all DevOps and media processing: servers, advanced Windows/IIS configuration, FFmpeg, AWS (EC2, S3, Elastic Transcoder) batch encoding, and production adaptive streaming (HLS, DASH, and low-latency RTMP) — through three generations of the video pipeline.
• Owned cybersecurity for the platform and the servers it ran on.
• Built MLS data ingestion and processing (RETS/FTP) across many regional boards, plus affiliate tooling, custom flyer/brochure generation (image/PDF/social), WordPress plugins, ecommerce customizations, and hybrid mobile apps (Cordova/PhoneGap).
• In 2020, spearheaded the strategic migration of the entire PHP framework and the real-estate marketing tools to Laravel with zero operational downtime — application architecture, auth, and production feature delivery.
• Ran the company's internet marketing for most of the tenure: SEO, analytics, conversion-rate optimization, and branding, alongside all engineering work.
• Led a team of developers, QA, and tech support for roughly a quarter of the tenure, and was the sole developer for the remaining three-quarters. Worked directly with the CEO and other members of staff.
