HELLO THERE!

Our Hero

I'm Bren. I build scalable and bespoke PHP web applications that integrate with everything.

From SaaS platforms (AWS, Digital Ocean, Cloudflare, etc) to traditional ERP, CMS, CRM systems, LLM/AI agents, REST APIs, LIMS and whatever else. I'm also quite proficient with moving data around (ETL, data pipelines, backups), maintaining fleets of Linux virtual machines, and automating all the things.

I've been privileged to work with many project and cross-functional teams to build applications great and small, delivering pragmatic, maintainable, high-quality products and solutions through SDLC best practices.

When I'm not coding for fun and/or profit, I love getting outside and playing games with my kids and wife, tinkering with computer/networking/IoT hardware, and thinking about new house projects I'll probably never get to.

Anyway, feel welcome to click around this thing to learn more about how I might help your team build big things. My curriculum vitae is available to download, print, and place on your fridge.

September 2025:
I have availability for short term consulting engagements.
