About - Asunder Labs

In 2010 I began my journey into web development, creating my first website for a solar startup. I had originally started learning C++ but after I saw how easy it was to build pages in the browser with HTML and CSS I pivoted to web development. After months of studying books and YouTube videos, I used my newfound skills to build websites for a couple of small businesses and eventually got a full-time job maintaining WordPress sites.

Since then I've worked for multiple agencies, a webinar software company, AT&T and some smaller tech startups. In 2018 I quit my W2 job to help a couple of founders launch their startups. I used this time to hone my skills and find out where I could make the biggest impact. I had a vision for something greater than anything I could accomplish at any agency or as an employee - working directly with founders to bring their vision to life and change the world (or at least a small part of the world).

When I'm not helping new business owners launch and grow their software products, I'm working on my own software products. One of those products is Varcaliber.com, a time tracking and invoicing app for professionals which I have used in my own business since 2022. In my spare time I like to read fiction, listen to video essays and take walks.

My Skills

Below is a short list of my most used skills which I actively maintain. When starting a new project, these technologies are my goto.

Tap a card to view more info.

My foundation for web applications and APIs - I use Blade, Eloquent ORM, migrations and other key features.

I use Vue along with popular tools like Vite, Vue Router, Nuxt, and Pinia to build impactful user experiences.

I write PHP classes that function as controllers, models, and services within Laravel applications.

Typically I use Eloquent ORM to interact with MySQL. I also design table schemas and troubleshoot using SQL queries.

I use Docker to containerize applications. This allows me to keep track of server configurations in a Git repository.

I use a variety of AWS services to deploy applications including EC2, S3, SNS, CloudFront and CloudWatch.
