Current Work
Housing Compliance Platform
Since 2020, I have served as the sole in-house developer responsible for the continued growth, maintenance, and modernization of a Laravel-based affordable housing compliance platform used for reporting, occupancy workflows, documents, waitlists, and stakeholder communication.
The Project
Housing Compliance Platform
Sole In-House Developer, 2020 – Present
I own the long-term technical direction and daily engineering execution for a business-critical Laravel platform, serving as the lead engineer, maintainer, and primary technical decision-maker.
Program Coverage
The platform supports evolving regulatory and operational requirements across multiple affordable housing programs while staying reliable for internal teams.

The Challenge
More than feature delivery. The system must reflect changing business rules, support multiple housing programs, absorb legacy data, and remain usable as complexity grows.
My Role
Full-stack ownership across backend architecture, workflow design, reporting, document handling, queue processing, testing, deployments, and production maintenance.
What I Built
Core systems I delivered
Key areas of ownership spanning the full platform lifecycle.
-
01
Compliance workflows
Built multi-step workflows for report periods, certifications, status transitions, and internal review cycles.
-
02
Program-specific logic
Translated regulatory rules into working forms, calculations, and reporting outputs across multiple housing programs.
-
03
Reporting and documents
Created export pipelines, PDF generation, email blasts, postal workflows, and document management tooling.
-
04
Data operations
Managed waitlists, imports, and data normalization across projects, contacts, units, and rent and income limits.
How I Improved It
Modernization efforts
Ongoing work to make the platform safer to operate, easier to extend, and less fragile over time.
-
01
Architecture cleanup
Refactored services and controllers to reduce complexity and support long-term growth.
-
02
Automated testing
Expanded test coverage with unit, feature, integration, and regression suites for critical paths.
-
03
Validation and resilience
Hardened validation, permissions, and error handling across high-risk business processes.
-
04
Operations and performance
Optimized queue processing, CI/CD pipelines, and performance for large datasets and document generation.
Outcome
Sustained impact over time
Through continuous iteration, the platform has become more capable, stable, and maintainable year over year, supporting deeper program requirements and more reliable daily operations.
-
5+
Years of continuous development on a single production codebase
-
Solo
Primary engineer responsible for architecture, delivery, and maintenance
-
Stable
