I'm a freelance PHP and JavaScript developer specializing in legacy system modernization. For 25+ years, I've helped companies evolve their codebases without throwing away what works.
🟢 Currently accepting new projects — I work with teams who need to modernize incrementally, not rip and replace.
- Legacy Modernization - Add modern architecture to existing systems while preserving business logic and institutional knowledge.
- Custom Development - Build tools and solutions tailored to your specific domain and constraints.
- Technical Consulting - Navigate architectural decisions with long-term maintainability in mind.
I build and maintain tools that reflect how I work:
Canvas - PHP framework designed for gradual modernization. Add structure incrementally without breaking production.
ObjectQuel - PHP ORM with explicit Data Mapper pattern and readable QUEL-inspired syntax.
WakaPAC - A compact reactive UI runtime with a desktop-style event pipeline.
- Explicit over implicit - Code should explain itself without framework documentation
- Incremental progress - Small, testable changes beat big-bang rewrites
- Practical solutions - Technical decisions based on your constraints, not industry trends
If you're working with a system that needs to evolve but can't stop for a rewrite, I can help.
