Brian Mata

Full-Stack Web Developer · Full-Stack Knight · Las Vegas, NV

An ashen developer, risen from the kiln of Las Vegas to link the first deployment.

By trade, a forger of full-stack web applications — TypeScript and Laravel by day, PostgreSQL by candlelight. By oath, a deliverer of production software that does not falter when the load bears down.

Five winters spent shipping storefronts, ticketing engines, and self-service provisioning systems. The flame wavers, yet the builds stay green.

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

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

Young White Branch

Branch of a young white birch, perhaps an offering of peace. The bearer may blend into production, unnoticed, until the deploy succeeds.
