A search-as-a-service platform with an engine-agnostic architecture across the Go control plane, customer portal, and WordPress plugin. Currently deploys Meilisearch instances, with the codebase designed to support additional engines, such as Typesense. As the platform engineer, I built the full stack: a Go-based control plane that handles instance lifecycle (create, start, stop, delete), the public site celersearch.com in Nuxt, and the CelerSearch WordPress plugin that connects WordPress sites to a hosted instance. The customer-facing surface is a Laravel/Livewire portal that queues operations to the control plane and handles subscription billing through Paddle, support ticketing, and the affiliate program.

I designed and implemented the on-premises cloud infrastructure for ilnp.com, hosted on our own hardware. The site is built with the Roots WordPress framework and WooCommerce, and runs on a K3s-powered Kubernetes cluster with CI/CD via GitHub Actions and Docker.

An open-source, self-hosted invoicing and expense-tracking app for individuals and small businesses, built with Laravel and Vue 3 and deployable via Docker Compose. I've been a core maintainer of the original repository since 2024. My work includes shipping multi-tenancy, leading a large-scale refactor across both layers (migrating the front end from untyped JavaScript to fully typed TypeScript, and reorganizing the back end into cleaner modules for better readability and extension), and building AI-powered invoice scanning for the upcoming 3.0 release.

A Composer package registry you can run on your own infrastructure. Ships as a single Go binary with an embedded admin dashboard, organization-scoped tokens, local or S3-compatible storage, and package syncing from GitHub and GitLab.

A starter project for Laravel that integrates with the new Vue 3 and utilizes the Composition API, along with Tailwind CSS, Vue Router, and Pinia. The project was created to help reduce the amount of work when bootstrapping new similar projects.

A Laravel-based web application that handles client billing and support ticketing, which integrates with an external payment gateway and the live chat service, Crisp. I developed both the back end and the front end of the application.

A website for a local news outlet in St. Petersburg, Florida. I developed the website from the ground, along with various tools for publishing and newsletter management. The website is modular, and every functionality is split into its plugin so that each feature can be enabled or disabled based on usage. The technologies used are WordPress, PHP, and JavaScript.

A website for a news blockchain-based startup. I developed the website from scratch based on Figma design. The website is developed with Bricks builder and custom PHP/JavaScript where necessary. It also uses GravityForms for web forms.
