I build calm, reliable
software that lasts.
I’m Billy Patrick — a Laravel-focused full-stack developer with 10+ years of experience turning messy ideas into systems that are easy to run, maintain, and trust.
I care about clear architecture, boring reliability, and respecting users’ time and data.
The Way I Build.
Most products don’t fail because they’re monoliths — they fail because they’re unclear.
I default to well-structured Laravel monoliths because they’re easier to test, deploy, and reason about. When complexity is required, I introduce it deliberately — not preemptively.
Every decision is about reducing operational stress six months from now.
