I build systems that build things
PHP developer since 2007, founder of Pelton Solutions and Swiftrics. Someone describes a business process that eats too much time, and I start sketching the software that fixes it.
2007
Building web applications in PHP since finishing my Computer Science degree at Northern Michigan University.
2016
Knowledge ERP has been in production, and in active development, every year since.
1 patent

This page
Runs on Swiftrics, the platform I built for small business websites.
What I'm building
Three things take up most of my professional life right now.
Knowledge ERP
Inventory management for manufacturers and distributors, in production since 2016 and currently moving from a custom PHP framework to Laravel and Filament. Built at Pelton Solutions, the company I founded in 2012.
Swiftrics
A website platform for small businesses, and the thing this page runs on. Fast static pages, a component based builder, and an API that lets content be drafted and published programmatically.
Successories
Director of Technology, responsible for the ecommerce platform I have been evolving since 2010, through a framework rebuild and the move from physical servers to AWS.
Latest writing
Notes on the software I build and the workflows around it. All posts.
Currently
August 2026.
My wife Fabiola and I sold the idea of staying in one place. We live full time in our fifth wheel, work from wherever we have parked it, and film the whole thing for our Nomads Amor channel.
On the side I am rendering book three of Underfoot, a six book series written and voiced by AI agents, and rebuilding six years of Minecraft videos from BasketMC as written pages.
