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 and CakePHP ecosystem.

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 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.
