Open Source Work
Contributing to open source has been a core part of my development philosophy for over two decades. Here are some of my most prominent projects and contributions to the PHP, CakePHP, and WordPress ecosystems.
Why This Matters for Your Project
Whether you're migrating legacy code, refactoring an existing application, or starting a greenfield project, having access to battle-tested tools and deep framework knowledge makes all the difference.
Over two decades, I've built an extensive toolkit of plugins and utilities that solve common (and uncommon) challenges in CakePHP development. Combined with expert-guided AI usage for analysis, review, and implementation support, this means faster delivery, fewer bugs, and solutions built on proven foundations rather than reinventing the wheel.
For content-driven projects, I also bring WordPress expertise — from custom plugin development to performance optimization and hybrid PHP/WordPress architectures. The result: projects that ship quicker and with higher quality than traditional approaches.
