I am a creator. I build websites/apps as a full-stack-senior-web-application-devops-engineer-blah-blah-you-name-it; I produce audio short stories; I create fun lego photos and animated videos; I make disc golf stats.

I am the creator of the tech-fantasy and fiction-crime podcasts series Dist1nc7ive Stories, and produce other audio short stories.

I'm a freelance full stack web geek, and I blog about it, including my favorite toys of late: automation with Playwright/Puppeteer, PHP Goutte, and I leave myself notes-to-self to remember.

I am a co-founder of StatMando, a disc golf side-project that helped revolutionize stats in disc golf.

I used to run goofiness.com, and currently have Mockumentary.com, HuckfaceDG and a few other, um, interesting side projects.

fullstack://

PHP framework experience includes Laravel, Yii, Symfony, WordPress, CodeIgniter, and custom PHP projects.
Have an old legacy PHP site that needs to be carefully updated? I have experience working with older codebases, updating both the code, and the systems they run on, carefully, while maintaining the important system. I've worked with Apache, Nginx, Internet Information Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL and MS-SQL.

Disc golf stats. In early 2021, a few of us were on twitter, bemoaning the lack of stats in disc golf. We decided to try to help. We met, we planned, we built. The result: StatMando.
