About RJ

A developer’s discipline with a freelancer’s personal attention.

My coding journey began more than 20 years ago as a hobby and grew into a passion for solving practical problems. Today I specialize in PHP and the TALL stack, working across projects large and small—independently or alongside an existing team.

I can guide an idea from the first conversation through launch, step into an established project, or help with the printed materials that support the business beyond the screen.

The common thread is simple: clear communication, useful work, and a relationship where you always know who is responsible for the result.

Have something in mind?

Let’s turn the idea into something useful.

Whether it’s a question, a project, or an early idea that needs direction, I’m all ears. Tell me what you’re trying to accomplish and we’ll find out if we’re a good fit.
