I'm Tom, a senior PHP/Laravel developer with over 15 years of experience building modern web applications. I specialize in the VILT stack (Vue, Inertia, Laravel, Tailwind) and have led projects ranging from e-commerce to social and live streaming platforms. Whether working solo or embedded in a team, I bring a strong focus on performance, scalability, and clean architecture. I’m currently freelancing, building products, and exploring live streaming, UGC infrastructure and dev tools through projects like LiveStack and Hook Scout.
If you’ve been playing around with Laravel Cloud and run Horizon, you might have hit this weird one: the dashboard looks perfect, but… no jobs are being processed. That happened to me the other day, and yes — it ended with a slightly embarrassed support message.
Hook Scout is a webhook management platform built with Laravel 12, Vue 3, and InertiaJS that provides real-time webhook receiving, processing, and forwarding capabilities with monitoring features.
