What I do
Product
I take ideas to launched, paying products.
- SaaS from idea to launch Scan2Order, Call A Waiter, and a long line of products built end-to-end.
- Hospitality tech Software for restaurants and hotels, informed by owning and running both.
- E-commerce WooCommerce shops and multi-store setups for client brands.
Engineering
The stack behind everything I ship.
- Laravel and PHP The backbone of most of my products and client work.
- React and Tailwind CSS Modern, fast frontends without the bloat.
- WordPress and WooCommerce Custom plugins and integrations for real shops.
- Mobile apps Companion apps for products and clients.
Infrastructure
Servers I own, systems I keep running.
- Linux server administration Provisioning, hardening, and day-to-day care of production machines.
- nginx, PHP-FPM, and MySQL Web and database stacks tuned for real traffic.
- Deployments From git push to production in minutes, across the whole fleet.
- Cloudflare and DNS Domains, caching, and edge services for every site I run.
- Monitoring and uptime I care enough about uptime that I built my own product for it, Uptimely.
AI
Practical AI, wired into real products.
- LLM integrations AI features inside products, not demos.
- AI agents and workflow automation Agents that do real work: content, operations, support.
- RAG and data pipelines Products that answer from their own data.
- AI-assisted development AI is part of my daily toolchain, not an experiment.
Growth
Products need users, not just code.
- Multilingual SEO Sites with localized slugs, hreflang, and per-locale sitemaps.
- Marketing for client brands Campaigns and content through both agencies.
- Direct-booking strategy Hotels earning bookings on their own site, not just on OTAs.
I have been in IT since 1994. I build for hospitality as someone who runs hospitality, and I ship software the way an owner would: fast, practical, accountable.
