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 and CakePHP ecosystem.
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 modern AI-assisted development practices, this means faster delivery, fewer bugs, and solutions built on proven foundations rather than reinventing the wheel. The result: projects that ship quicker and with higher quality than traditional approaches.
Recent developments and newly released tools from 2025.
SQL to Query Builder Conversion: Parse raw SQL and automatically generate CakePHP query builder code. Perfect for modernizing legacy code or learning ORM patterns.

Active open source contributor since 2008 with consistent contributions across the ecosystem.
As a long-time CakePHP core developer, I've contributed extensively to the CakePHP framework itself, helping shape its evolution and improve its functionality over the years.
