About

What I'm looking for
I'm after long-term remote work where I can settle into a project and own it, not jump between one-off gigs. I do my best work when I understand the bigger picture and have room to make decisions.
Ideally with a team building on Laravel or Vue, but I'm open to anything in that ecosystem especially projects with real backend complexity like multi-tenant systems, infrastructure, or email.
Fully remote, comfortable across time zones. Full-time, contract, or ongoing part-time all work.
