Commerce systems built from scratch.

A consumer electronics buyback platform. Customers describe a device, get a priced offer, ship it in, and get paid — which means the catalog, the condition grading, the offer engine, and the payout pipeline all have to agree with each other. Built end to end on Laravel.

Two sales channels running off one physical shelf — a card-payment storefront and an eBay store. The whole system turns on separating stock from the things that sell it: a sellable is assembled from stock units, so availability is computed from its components rather than stored, and a matching set and the single piece built from the same unit draw each other down automatically. Both channels call one stock service, which debits the shelf and re-pushes availability to every affected eBay listing. Built end to end on Laravel with a Filament back office.

• Stock engine. An append-only movement ledger where every entry carries an idempotency key built from the order and line, so a re-synced eBay order or a retried payment webhook cannot double-count. Editing a count by hand moves through the same path as a sale and reaches eBay like any other change.
• eBay Sell API integration. OAuth, inventory publishing, multi-variation listing groups, availability and sold-count read-back, importing listings created outside the app, plus category taxonomy and business policies. A refusal from eBay is treated as an ordinary outcome that lands on the item for a human; only transport failures retry.
• Pre-publish validation. A chain that checks the listing against eBay's own category rules before publishing — required item specifics, allowed values, length limits, cross-aspect constraints, numeric aspects — so the seller reads the problem in the app instead of a refusal a minute later.
• Variation editing. A combinations grid generated from the attributes a listing varies by, matching already-filled rows on an order-independent signature so regenerating adds what is missing instead of discarding SKUs, stock and photos that live eBay offers depend on. Reorderable, because option order is the order a buyer picks from.
• Storefront and checkout. Blade and Tailwind shop with a session basket that re-resolves price and availability on every read, so a basket left open overnight cannot charge yesterday's price. Card details never reach the application; the signed webhook is the only thing that marks an order paid, and it debits stock once per line.
• Back office. Filament panel over inventory, the shelf, eBay and web orders, shipping and tracking, refunds with stock reversal, reusable listing prefills and storefront pricing.
• Background work. Queued publishes and availability pushes that collapse a burst into a single call and read live counts when they run, scheduled listing and order syncs, a buyer-data retention scrub, and a reconciler that asks the processor what became of any pending order the webhook never reported.
• Deployment and tests. Provisioning and deploy scripts that never touch the live database, photos or environment, and a suite of 223 tests with eBay and payments faked at their seams so no HTTP leaves the test run.

A direct-to-consumer fashion storefront built from the ground up — catalog, product presentation, and checkout designed around the brand rather than fitted to a theme.

An editorial publication on the circular economy — e-waste, textiles, recycled content, right-to-repair law. A static site on edge infrastructure with no database, no CMS and no admin login: an article is a Markdown file, and a push publishes it. It ships zero bytes of JavaScript to the browser, which is a constraint the whole design is held to rather than a result that happened.

• Content architecture. Separate collections for editorial articles, guides and corrections, each with a typed frontmatter schema enforced at build time — a malformed article fails the build instead of reaching production. The filename is the permanent URL, and drafts render locally but are stripped from the published build.
• Editorial integrity. A named byline, a public corrections log, and last-verified dates that flag themselves as possibly out of date after six months rather than presenting an old check as a current one.
• Images. A responsive srcset sized to the prose column so phones are not sent full-width originals, eager-loaded lead images, social cards whose card type follows the image's shape, and generated cover art for articles that have no photograph.
• Interaction without JavaScript. Topic filtering and a featured-post home page built in CSS alone, keeping the no-JS constraint intact.
• Search and syndication. Sitemap, RSS feed, article structured data, and meta descriptions driven off the same frontmatter the page renders, so they cannot drift apart.
• Edge layer. A Worker in front of the static assets that redirects www to the apex preserving path and query, scoped so content-hashed assets are still served directly and a page with images does not bill ten invocations instead of one.
• Build gates. Schema validation and type-checking, plus a check that fails the build on the run-together text the framework's whitespace handling produces silently — invisible in the source, and shipped five times before the check existed.
• Design and delivery. The entire design in one stylesheet with working light and dark schemes, security headers site-wide, immutable caching on fingerprinted assets, a real 404 status on unmatched routes, and automatic deploys on push.
