My stack: Laravel, Vue, AI-augmented
Every piece here is one I've shipped to production. This is not a "tech I want to learn" list — it's the list of tech I use daily in real projects with real traffic.
Backend
Laravel 11, PHP 8.3+, REST APIs, GraphQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Livewire, queues & jobs, Pest, PHPUnit.
Why Laravel: senior-grade ergonomics + ecosystem (Forge, Vapor, Horizon, Telescope) covering the full lifecycle without reinventing wheels.
Frontend
Vue 3, Nuxt, React, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, Astro, Inertia, HTML5/CSS3, SASS.
Why Vue: Composition API + reactivity = iteration speed without losing structure. React/Nuxt when the team or client prefers them.
AI-Augmented Development
- Claude (Anthropic): advanced prompting and production integrations (RAG, tool use, agents).
- Claude Code: daily agentic CLI driver for writing, refactoring and reviewing code.
- Claude Design: AI-assisted UI design, from mock to component.
- Google Stitch: AI-assisted design-to-code workflows.
- MCP servers / agentic tools: workflow automation (CI, data, deploys, observability).
DevOps
Laravel Forge, DigitalOcean, Vercel, Docker, GitHub Actions CI/CD, observability (Sentry, Logtail).
Practices
Git flow, code review, async collaboration, Agile/Scrum, technical documentation, E2E + unit testing, basic observability from day one.
