It’s been a year today since I walked on stage at @laracon.au 2024 and opened up about my experiences with depression and anxiety.

Mental health should be talked about.

And with 2025’s conference just days away, a reminder to be aware of those around you who feel invisible.

Years of sitting, coding, shipping, scrolling, and pixel peeping destroyed my body. I honestly thought I was DYING.

It took me 4 years and 22 specialists to figure out what was ACTUALLY happening and how to fix it.

Now I'm sharing everything I learned & more in my new podcast —  recoverymode.fm

"Embrace the tools you use (even if you don't love them)"

My first blog post in over 2 years! It's about a big lesson I've learned working on the Laravel Cloud team and having to use - spoiler alert - React.

It's been a long time coming, but Cargo is finally in alpha! 📦🎉

Cargo is my e-commerce addon for Statamic. I've been working on it for just over a year now. It's been a lot of work but I'm *really* happy with how it's turned out.
