Full-stack developer & father of two. Most of my recent work is Laravel + Vue, though I’m shifting toward Node.js and modern JS stacks. Twelve years of experience building products, debugging messy systems, and handling full-lifecycle development.

Core skills: JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, Node, Laravel, Vue, React, HTML5/CSS, Ionic, Linux VPS, Nginx, AWS, API integrations (Amazon, Google Maps, FedEx/UPS, Stripe/PayPal, Craigslist Bulk, Zendesk, etc.)

Current situation: I’m in a rough stretch — temporarily displaced after a cascade of life events outside my control. I’m still working and actively taking freelance or remote dev roles, but donations genuinely help me keep things stable for my kids while I rebuild.

If you feel inclined: CashApp: $pwcurl Venmo: @zvive PayPal: [email protected]

Looking for: Remote-only work or local to Utah county or salt lake county — part-time, full-time, or contract. Based in Utah.

I just had meta's muse agent run my entire groups marketing campaign for my new app, it brought in 500 users in 2 weeks...it read the rules, advised on best posting practices on a per group basis and saved the notes and data for each group into a spreadsheet for future posts, then it created instagram videos and reels that are amazing and posted those to instagram and tiktok for me and it is creating a Kiva crowdfunding campaign for me....I don't know what else is required for AGI but that pretty much replaces the need for a personal assistant imho...

I'm going to learn to ship things. I can build a full SaaS in 5 days using Claude so there is no excuse for me not to ship.

I've been out of work 2 years, had to do a GoFundMe just to survive the winter, and I raised 5k which gave me a runway to get off Uber and Lyft and focus on finding clients to build for add with chatGPT I think I'm in the verge of figuring this freelance thing out ..

other things to learn: I want to get AWS certified and work on other certifications like Service Now... or sales force...

I'm wanting a digital agency but need to figure out the sales aspect.

I’m a full-stack developer focusing on Laravel + Vue or livewire and AI automation for small businesses. 12+ years building production apps, internal tools, and integrations.

Recent work includes: – SaaS dashboards and internal CRM systems – AI-powered automations (agent workflows, lead scoring, data extraction) – React Native mobile apps (Expo) – Custom APIs, OAuth, payment integration – Landing pages + onboarding flows

Looking for contract or part-time work. I ship fast, communicate clearly, and handle the full lifecycle from idea → architecture → deployment.

I'm open to tech support or writing gigs as well.

if you hire someone are they going to always be right the first time you give them directions?

does this include if the AI can devise new components and use drones and things essentially to build a new iteration of itself more capable to compute a thing and keep repeating this going out into the universe as needed for resources and using von Neumann probes.. etc?

or you can have chatGPT make one to your specifications in his style...

Currently homeless, driving Uber and Lyft. I've fixed my mental health after a shit storm of life events, mostly using AI as therapist.

I'm going back to school soon for psychology (figure financial aid can also pay room and board).

I'm wanting to build a mobile journal app with a bunch of AI guided 'games' to help learn DBT skills or work out trauma or do Shadow work or just guided CBT for a purpose.

I've changed my MBTI from intp-t to enfp-a...(I find I revert sometimes when I don't feel safe)... in other words I've become a very outgoing people person at least I'm a lot less afraid in social situations or to act like a fool on the dance floor... etc...

I also want to write a book and do videos on hacking your brain using AI... nobody seems to be doing this... there's a lot of potential for this niche I think.

I fixed hobbies, depression, and social life, all that's left is physical and financial and those are kind of easy when emotions are in check.

it's got PHP and tooling and Arch Linux it's just what I'm comfortable with but I've got a MacBook (someone gifted me one from this thread) so yeah I'll definitely be using that for freelancing soon.
