James Grundner is a Principal Consultant and seasoned web developer with 11+ years of professional experience building enterprise CMS, CRM, and ERP systems for clients ranging from Home Depot to specialty insurers. He specializes in PHP-based OOP across frameworks like Symfony, Laravel and Phalcon, and designs robust API integrations and asynchronous data flows using REST/SOAP, JSON, and XML while managing complex data on PostgreSQL and MySQL (including PL/pgSQL). James has a strong track record modernizing legacy stacks—leading PHP5-to-PHP7 upgrades and CI initiatives—and architecting insurance portals that stitch together monolith, distributed, and cloud services. Comfortable across Windows, macOS, and Linux, he pairs hands-on coding with operational automation (GitLab CI, Jenkins, Bash) and practical migration strategies. A longtime small-business founder, he brings an uncommon blend of enterprise-scale systems thinking and boutique client-focused delivery that often yields rapid ROI for mid-market and emerging companies.
