$ cat background.txt

I've been solving technical problems professionally for over 25 years. What started as freelance PHP work evolved into building billing platforms for the self-storage industry, and eventually into founding CCMS — a SaaS company with purpose-built vertical software products now used by businesses across Florida. I write all the code, design the architecture, and stay involved in operations. No outsourcing, no handoff to strangers after launch.

$ 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.

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.
