Professional Services.
Precision Engineering for the Web.
You don't hire me to install a plugin. You hire me when the plugin breaks, or when you need something that doesn't exist yet. I specialize in high-complexity, low-latency backend logic and system architecture.
Notice
I am currently rebuilding PHPOG.com after stepping away from a long decade in the corporate world to return to my original passion: building, engineering, and making the web better.
For now, this site does not use contact forms and does not collect subscriber data.

Other Services
If it involves PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, or Linux, I likely do it. I solve problems that other developers walk away from.
My Code Standard
I adhere to strict coding standards. Variables are initialized. Logic is separated from presentation. Security is baked in, not bolted on. When you pay for code, you get code that belongs in a production environment.
