I build the layer where one “Publish” button becomes a fistful of vendor APIs.

🧩 What I actually do

Multi-channel social and local-listing management — publishing, reviews, and analytics across the major networks.

Most of the work is translation. One button labelled “Publish” has to become a handful of vendor APIs that each hold a different opinion about what a post is, what counts as an image, and how a date should be written.

Reconciling those opinions is the actual work. The button is the easy part.

⚙️ How I build it

Async by default	Anything touching a third-party API goes on a queue and reports back when it's done
Never trust a vendor	Third-party APIs do not belong anywhere near your request/response cycle
Fail loudly	A swallowed HTTP error is a bug that surfaces three weeks later, in production

📌 Around here

Mostly PHP, with a solid JavaScript / TypeScript side — integration plumbing, API backends, and the occasional thing built purely to find out whether it would work.
