Summary
Carl Kashnier is a pragmatic Laravel and PHP engineer with 10 years of experience stabilizing, extending, and integrating production SaaS and operations-heavy systems. He specializes in stepping into established codebases to implement reliable billing logic, API and EDI integrations, data pipelines, and internal tools while minimizing disruption to live services. At Tradefull and Ludi he built scalable import/transformation pipelines, payment certification workflows, and performance optimizations using Laravel, MySQL/Aurora, Redis, SQS, and AWS. Comfortable collaborating with product, operations, and non-technical stakeholders, he has a track record of dramatically reducing onboarding time and recurring outages through clear documentation and incremental improvements. Based in Barberton, Ohio, he’s available for W-2, contract, or fractional roles where steady delivery and low-ramp contributions are valued. An early career background in reporting and automation gives him a practical edge when turning messy business rules into auditable, production-ready systems.
