What clients say
CoolFrames couldn't run without Sean. For more than a decade, he's been the technical backbone of our platform. He can get deep into the implementation when needed, then step back and think like a CTO.
Dan Blessing
CEO, CoolFrames
Sean helped us build Peak's auction platform from the ground up. His oversight has been essential—without him, we wouldn't be where we are today.
Matt Davison
President, Peak Auto Auctions
We brought Sean in in 2022 to take over a PHP project and rebuild it from the ground up in Laravel. Since then, he's shown us why Laravel belongs in the enterprise—and how well it can hold its own against .NET.
Bryan Taylor
Founder, Anderson Taylor LLC
Sean helped us carry a complex Symfony insurance platform across the finish line—we couldn't have done it without him. He was also there at the beginning of PhishingBox, helping lay the foundation for what it is today.

I cook as well as write software. This project brings the two together through lessons in preparation, technique, and learning by making things.
