Schedule Interview NowWorking at Softaims has been an experience that continues to shape my perspective on what it means to build quality software. I’ve learned that technology alone doesn’t solve problems—understanding people, processes, and context is what truly drives innovation. Every project begins with a question: what value are we creating, and how can we make it lasting? This mindset has helped me develop systems that are both adaptable and reliable, designed to evolve as business needs change. I take a thoughtful approach to problem-solving. Instead of rushing toward quick fixes, I prioritize clarity, sustainability, and collaboration. Every decision in development carries long-term implications, and I strive to make those decisions with care and intention. This philosophy allows me to contribute to projects that are not only functional, but also aligned with the values and goals of the people who use them. Softaims has also given me the opportunity to work with diverse teams and clients, exposing me to different perspectives and problem domains. I’ve come to appreciate the balance between technical excellence and human-centered design. What drives me most is seeing our solutions empower businesses and individuals to operate more efficiently, make better decisions, and achieve meaningful outcomes. Every challenge here is a chance to learn something new—about technology, teamwork, or the way people interact with digital systems. As I continue to grow with Softaims, my focus remains on delivering solutions that are innovative, responsible, and enduring.

On my weekend, I wanted to make use of Cloudways bar-none Wordpress performance-hosting solution to build myself a blog where I could do technical-writing as a web-development blogger, showcase videos of my classical violin side-life, and also sell some custom-designed drop-shipped hats. So I created HumansWearHats just for the fun of it. I haven't made a hat sale yet, so if you're looking for edgy, modern-day hats to encourage your kids to stay off social media, or to normalize life-in-general in our country the US of A, then swing on by!!
Old Kentucky Chocolates, I first wired this site’s eCommerce using Perl CGI and mSQL (not MySQL but mSQL, which was still around at the time) in ~1999-2000 inside an Apache vhosts configs. I had never coded before and was working just out of high school for Web-Point Communications in Rocky Mount, North Carolina at the time. We can see from Wappalyzer--thankfully--they’ve upgraded their server architecture and technology stack-choices quite a bit since then, with an nginx reverse proxy in front of whatever is there now, like I would use today if I were running anything off of an Apache. (And also of course, everyone using mSQL started using MySQL instead due to portability, security patches, Linux cross-platform, etc., but in those days mSQL was all the rave.) This was the beginning of my career in web development. Having an online eCommerce storefront on the web to complement one's physical brick-and-mortar store was a brand-new concept, and so Kentucky-chocolate was a likely product to get on the "www" in its infant-years. This was the first time I used a web language like Perl CGI furthermore, to both talk to a database in the back and render the HTML on the front, so the project proves that full stack isn't actually a very new concept. PHP wasn't really a thing yet--although I recall books were available on the subject in Barnes and Noble thus I was experimenting with it at home. Perl was the tool of choice as a web language, and just as easy to install in Linux as the GCC compiler, thus was a good place to start for Apache web eComm! There was also no such thing as NGINX as I recall, so Apache required a lot more custom fine-tuning in its httpd.conf's than it tends to outta-the-box today. Also I recall SSL certificate config was surprisingly similar in then-RedHat Linux, although fewer options existed for where to get the site its cert. Finally, I remember even fine-tuning the RH Linux's kernel config myself, for optimizing the box's ability to host the addition of our new client as an additional virtual host.
My first major exposure to Full Stack work in MEAN (Mongo, Express, Angular, Node) was begun as POC/prototyping R&D in my Bank of America days (2010-2014), when our team noticed NodeJS gaining traction and stability, thus my first full stack work was there in ~2013-2014. However, I later went to work for HotelQuickly in Bangkok while living in Thailand, and then the SolutionFuse consulting-form in the US, while still-residing in Thailand. The hybrid-mobile app I built HotelQuickly hasn’t stuck around in production as the company went under, but the hybrid-mobile app for SANE Forums I authored soon-after, is still in production today and can be downloaded from stores for iOS/Android. For this application based out of Australia, I took an already mobile-responsive website my consulting-firm SolutionFuse had built using the Lithium web framework, and built for it a vanilla- Apache Cordova “Javascript shell” to live in devices as IPA (iOS)/APK (Android). This way, the existing website could be easily housed within a mobile-app since the Responsive UX already had the CSS media calls needed for mobile-render. The shell gracefully maintains the state of the existing sessions-authentication from the existing Lithium-website furthermore, using existing cookies and hashes. The JS shell is basically just native-encapsulated DOM injection with a number of inter-communicating timed-polls. The Cordova build consumes a small footprint of well-configured native-plugins, so as to transform the mobile-responsive site directly into a mobile app for a variety of screen sizes and cross-platform. This was one of my earliest pushes to production in the hybrid-mobile space as it utilizes "plain vanilla" web code, and doesn't really need to make use of any JS frameworks or libraries within its Cordova built, such as Angular (or even jQuery for that matter). Nothing fancy under the hood, but looked like a Ferrari to the client as the end-result was a fully-functioning cross-platform mobile app!
Mitel is a company which bought Shoretel, a prior enterprise-client. Their current partner-finder is a redo of what was originally a Salesforce (“SOQL”) API-integrating NodeJS/ExpressJS middleware I authored and maintained (called from AJAX from the partner finder [AJAX-out], talked to Salesforce via SOQL on the back [SOQL-in]). The Partner Finder middleware also cached the data via heroku Scheduler, into a MongoDB cluster stored in mLab. This middleware’s ExpressJS-powered endpoints were availed to Shoretel’s frontend partner-finder integration, utilizing NodeJS CORS config on the backend so as to make our Express routes available to AJAX from an existing Drupal's calls from the Partner Finder's frontend. UI/feature-wise, the exact-same Partner Finder is still in production use at Mitel, using the same basic architectural approach.
Smartie was more or less a stealth-startup for a hybrid-mobile full application stack I and my juniors designed, authored, and maintained while I was at SolutionFuse. It is not yet deployed to production but it is sitting in my github awaiting VC attention at some future-date. It utilizes MEAN with a ParseJS layer in the back (from community-maintained -then-adopted open source originating out of Facebook's retirement of the formerly-named cloud-hosted Mongo abstraction layer). ParseJS had a nice dashboard for skinning as a customer-service interface, thus not only did it serve as a nice API routing replacement for ExpressJS but also made for a nice two-fer in this regard. Smartie has Angular-based Ionic Framework in the front, for an SCSS kitchen sink that we found superior to Material UI, and Ionic came with nice pre-wrapped automated test capabilities using karma-jasmine and protractor. As UX, Smartie is an educational app for connecting teachers to students (a “lyft for knowledge” as per our R&D motto while working for SolutionFuse). The app results in real-life scheduling and AI-facilitated interactions by-conception, offering a way for knowledge-transmission and education to happen in a formal way, yet outside-academia. You can observe my offshore junior demonstrating a full UX flow, with a teacher profile in one platform and a student profile in another (deployed cross-platform on iOS and Droid thanks to Ionic Framework which came with Apache Cordova pre-wrapped), in the attached video. The video demo's the student and teacher connecting with each other initially through the application, and proceeding through the Stripe-integrated Point of Sale. I'm proud of the fullstack work displayed here as it most-completely demonstrates all my skills in coding back and front end (as well as one middleware I wrote in GoLang, for encryption of user PII), all tied-together in a single product we developed from absolute-scratch to large-scale eComm-integrated user-and-data-flows consisting of many tens of thousands of lines of code which exercised most of the MEAN full-stack concepts.
