I've written code for twenty years and I've enjoyed every year of it. I still own the parts that matter: what gets built, how it's structured, and whether it's good enough to merge. What changed is who does the typing. I now orchestrate Claude Code agents to write the feature, its unit and feature tests, and the end-to-end browser tests. Each works in its own lane, and a second agent checks the work before it reaches me. Shipping has always been my greatest asset, and with Claude I ship features and whole products roughly ten times faster than I did typing every line myself. I'm enjoying it more than ever.
The agent ranks the board and I choose the ticket. It moves the status and cuts the branch. From here on the ticket is the contract: every claim of "done" has to trace back to a sentence in it.
A planning agent drafts the approach against the ticket's own text: schema, services, edge cases, test plan. Nothing gets built until I approve it. The plan is where twenty years of architecture judgement does its work.
An implementation agent writes the feature along with its unit and feature tests (PHPUnit / Pest, Vitest), following team conventions it loads as skills rather than guesses at.
A separate verifier agent builds a ledger that marks each requirement as met or not met, with evidence a sceptic could check. The agent that wrote the code never approves it.
The agent drives the real app in a real browser (clicks, forms, console and network) and confirms the feature works for the person who asked for it.
My review skill diffs the PR and runs Laravel and Filament review lenses in parallel. It verifies every finding, posts the ones that hold up as inline GitHub comments, and moves the Linear ticket back to Todo or on to Merge Ready. I make the merge call.
Twenty years building the software companies actually run on — ERPs, SaaS platforms, and line-of-business systems carrying real financial and compliance weight. Four of them below, in four industries: food service, real-estate brokerage, real-estate development and construction, and pharmaceutical distribution. Each built end to end, from schema and domain logic to the interfaces people work in every day. All still running.
Three businesses — subscription meal delivery, multi-branch retail with POS, shared corporate back-office — on one Laravel + Filament panel. AI marketing pipeline, Philippine payroll, event-driven accounting, Loyverse integration.
The full lifecycle of a housing project: sales, decade-long receivables, treasury, procurement, construction costing, HRIS and statutory payroll — across two Filament panels. HRIS + payroll owned end to end, plus review authority across a five-developer team.
Full-stack ownership of both tiers: a Laravel API with two Filament panels and an automated commission engine that computes VAT-stripped, tax-deducted splits the moment a sale is recorded — plus a Next.js 16 agent app with its own design system, and an AI agent whose authorization lives in its role-scoped tool surface.
Multi-branch stock, procurement, controlled adjustments, and dispensing with a pharmaceutical-grade audit trail — deliberately compact, with layered services, global-scope branch isolation, and a static-analysis ratchet.
Design and delivery of custom business systems, SaaS platforms, and ERP solutions, from requirements through deployment and support. Implementation, testing and review are orchestrated through Claude Code agents. Clients in real estate, food services, retail, and pharmaceutical distribution. Leading contributor on contract to a nine-person workforce-management SaaS (Laravel 13 + Next.js 15), where I built the team's Standards MCP server.
SaaS analytics platform for dental practices and multi-location dental organizations. Backend services, data workflows, integrations, and user-facing reporting across multiple practice-management systems; production reliability, data accuracy, and performance at scale.
Labor-market analytics and compensation-data platform. Salary research tools, dashboards, and reporting used by professionals, companies, and government organizations; external data integrations and internal APIs through multiple growth stages.
Web software for real estate agents, teams, and brokerages: responsive sites, CRM features, lead generation, and property search on listing-data integrations — across many branded installations with distinct configurations.
Business websites, database-driven PHP/MySQL applications, CMSs, and internal tools — owning the full lifecycle from requirements to ongoing support.
