$ whoami
Fort Lauderdale native. Full-stack PHP developer and SaaS architect. Born and raised in South Florida, this is my hometown and my place of business. Founder of CCMS (Complete Content Management Services). Building software businesses have actually depended on since 2004.
$ cat background.txt
I've been solving technical problems professionally for over 25 years. CCMS started as a freelance provider of Salesforce development, SharePoint support, Zoho support, and consulting across most major CRM and CMS platforms, which is exactly where the name Complete Content Management Services comes from. Over time, we moved into building fully custom applications, first for the Workers' Comp insurance industry, then expanding into self-storage and education. I write all the code, design the architecture, and stay involved in operations. No outsourcing, no handoff to a stranger in another country after launch. When you call CCMS, you reach us right here in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

CCMS is 100% American. We work exclusively with US-based companies, our entire staff is here in Florida, and we take pride in using US-based solutions wherever possible. Our hosting is built on Google Cloud infrastructure. All data stays in the United States. We are proud of that, and we never compromise on it. My office is at General Provision, a Fort Lauderdale coworking space, in the same city where I was born.
$ cat specialization.txt
My core focus is industry-specific SaaS and custom billing software: systems that handle automated renewals, proration, late fees, payment gateway integration, and complex business rules that off-the-shelf tools can't accommodate. When a business outgrows generic software, that's where I come in.
$ cat current-focus.txt
Lately, I've been deep in the Model Context Protocol (MCP), Anthropic's open standard for connecting Claude AI to external tools and data sources. I built MAILsimple, an IMAP/SMTP MCP connector that lets Claude read, search, and send email directly from Claude Desktop. A Discord MCP connector is next. These sit under the CCMS brand alongside the billing and SaaS products.

$ cat philosophy.txt
I believe in understanding systems completely before building on top of them. Whether it's a billing platform that's been running for 15 years or a new SaaS product that needs to scale, the details matter. Direct relationships, direct support, and code that still works five years from now. No middlemen, no overseas handoffs, no surprises.
