Who I am
I started programming six years ago and fell in love with Laravel for its elegance and its welcoming community. Since then I've built client applications and, alongside that work, created open-source tools that close real gaps in the developer experience.
My approach: solve a problem I actually run into, then package the solution so other developers can use it too. That's how each of the projects below started.
What I work with
Open-source work With 440K+ installs
Four published packages, each solving a real problem I ran into while building client work. The steps below show how a developer would actually use each one.
A comprehensive Laravel UI component library, inspired by shadcn/ui developers copy components into their own codebase and own the code, rather than depending on a black-box package.
A search modal package for FilamentPHP admin panels adds a fast, ⌘K-style command palette so users can jump to any record without clicking through menus.
A documentation framework for Laravel that compiles Markdown into a polished documentation site think Docusaurus or Mintlify, but native to PHP.
An animation utilities package for Alpine.js adds declarative, composable transitions that plug straight into HTML markup, with no custom JavaScript required.
