Who is this guy?

I'm a product designer and full-stack developer living in Springfield, Missouri.

I've been working on the web for about 20 years, and I still love making useful little things for people who build software. Most of my work sits somewhere between Laravel, product design, developer tools, and the occasional too-specific workflow that I decide should probably become a product.

You can find me on GitHub or X.

In 2018, Taylor Otwell and I created Laravel Nova, an admin dashboard for developers.

I also helped create Tailwind CSS in its early days.

In 2020, I co-founded Chipper CI along with Chris Fidao in hopes to make continuous integration with Laravel super simple. I sold my half of Chipper in 2022.

I also created PushSilver and Shove.dev.

Lately I'm especially interested in AI-assisted development, Laravel workflows, and tools that make it easier to get from idea to shipped product.

In 2018 I gave a well-received talk at the inaugural Laracon Australia 2018.
