Image of Phillip Rearick

I'm Phillip Rearick, a full-stack developer with 12+ years of experience, specializing in building enterprise applications and complex multi-tenant systems. Currently based in Richmond, Kentucky, I work as a contract developer and love sharing what I learn with the Laravel community.

I've built everything from healthcare IoT monitoring systems to enterprise inventory management platforms using Laravel and Vue.js and React. Some highlights include a developing dynamic reporting package that eliminated developer bottlenecks, a comprehensive testing framework for TDD adoption, and several multi-tenant SaaS applications serving healthcare organizations.

I enjoy tackling a diverse range of technical challenges. I've ventured into C++ audio plugin development, built Python trading algorithms, and developed IoT solutions for pharmaceutical environments. This breadth of experience has taught me that good software design principles transcend any particular technology stack.

This blog is my way of giving back to the Laravel community that has taught me so much. Writing helps me solidify my understanding while hopefully helping other developers navigate similar challenges. Whether I'm exploring Laravel's latest features or sharing lessons from complex projects, my goal is to create content that saves someone else time and frustration.
