Right Hand: Vidana Studio Storefront

Next.js e-commerce blade

A storefront forged for Vidana Studio, sharpened with Next.js and TypeScript.

Full e-commerce flows wrought upon PostgreSQL and Prisma, a typed catalog adapter binding every edge. Fulfillment providers — Printify, Gelato — bound by HMAC-verified webhooks.

Optimized for the search engines of the surface world: sitemaps, server-side APIs, and SEO incantations. Deployed upon Railway, and there it stands.

Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Prisma, Printify/Gelato, Railway

Left Hand: Andean Artisan Coffee

A steadfast greatshield

Production site for Andean Artisan Coffee — architecture raised, deployment tended, maintenance sworn.

A shield does not glitter, but it holds. So too does this storefront, quietly serving the roasters' craft.

TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Railway, Nginx, React Framework

Ring 1: GP2040-CE Controller Firmware

Ring of the open-source covenant

Contribution to the GP2040-CE covenant — custom PCBs for low-latency arcade controllers.

Improved the React/TypeScript embedded configurator, and bound C/C++ firmware to hardware prototypes through the Raspberry Pi Pico SDK and CMake toolchain.

Ring 2: Remittance Automation

Ring of tireless labor

An automation wrought for Tix4.com — scheduled, multi-format exports for remittance and daily-sales reporting.

Where clerks once toiled by hand, the machine now labors. Manual reconciliation reduced by eighty percent.

PHP, Laravel, MySQL, Background Jobs, Slack API

Ring 3: Proxmox Self-Service Portal

Ring of summoned machines

Integration of the Proxmox REST API with WHMCS, granting patrons the power to summon virtual machines at will.

Provisioning, resource control, Squid proxy configuration, and credential generation — all automated in Python and Bash.

Python, Bash, Proxmox API, WHMCS, Squid

Ring 4: Mix → Vite Migration

Ring of the swift forge

Led the migration from Laravel Mix to Vite, with cache busting and Laravel/PHP upgrades in the same campaign.

Build times cut by as much as eighty percent. The forge burns brighter, and waits are shorter.

Vite, Laravel, PHP, Webpack, CI

Journey

Independent Full-Stack Web Developer — Freelance

Remote · Jan. 2026 — Present

  • elivered two paid production websites—Vidana Studio and Andean Artisan Coffee—owning requirements,
  • architecture, implementation, deployment, DNS, SSL, and ongoing maintenance.
  • Built Vidana Studio from the ground up as a custom Next.js/TypeScript fine-art storefront with shop, product, cart, checkout, commission, account, policy, and responsive motion-driven experiences.
  • Designed a typed catalog adapter that reads live PostgreSQL/Prisma data with a bundled-seed fallback, keeping
  • products, collections, metadata, and sitemap consumers independent of the underlying data source.
  • Integrated Printify and Gelato catalog imports, paid-order fulfillment, commission add-ons, tracking synchronization, and HMAC-verified webhooks with graceful credential-free fallback.
  • Implemented server-only newsletter, commission, and order modules; per-route Open Graph/canonical metadata;
  • data-driven sitemap generation; Prisma migrations and seeding; and Railway deployment scripts

Full-Stack Developer — Tix4.com

  • Ticketmaster, AXS, NLiven, and Outbox APIs across inventory, seat maps, pricing, carting, checkout, and fulfillment.
  • Reduced manual reconciliation by over 80% by building remittance and daily-sales automation for commissions,
  • refunds, store/channel totals, and scheduled email delivery, with standardized CSV, XLSX, and PDF exports.

  • added store-specific NMI merchant routing, terminal-payment fixes, duplicate-email prevention, and orphan purchase Slack alerts.

  • Modernized a Laravel application by leading Laravel Mix/Webpack-to-Vite migration work, adding React/Vue tooling, upgrading Laravel 12 and PHP 8.4, and implementing cache busting; cut builds by 60–80%.
  • Improved POS workflows with FullCalendar showtime selection and no-refresh cart updates, reducing transaction time by approximately 25%; also delivered coupon analytics, GTM attribution, and responsive event pages.
  • Collaborated in a five-developer agile team through pull-request reviews and coordinated with external engineers to resolve undocumented API behavior and production integration discrepancies
