👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Zirkel is a Laravel developer with 11 years of professional software experience, currently building web applications at Affiliate.com from his base in Kerrville, Texas. He brings full-stack expertise across PHP (Laravel, Livewire), JavaScript frameworks (Vue, Next, Inertia, Alpine), and databases (MySQL, Postgres), with a strong taste for modern UI stacks like TailwindCSS. Prior roles include senior PHP work at The Healthy Back Institute and a decade leading creative and development teams as Creative Director at Alara Creative, blending design sensibility with engineering rigor. He also teaches and mentors—having been an adjunct faculty member for digital imaging and storyboarding—and maintains a long creative streak as a freelance comic book writer, illustrator, and sketch card artist. That blend of art and engineering gives him a practical eye for UX-driven solutions and a knack for turning visual concepts into production-ready code. His GitHub motto, "Making stuff up since 1977," hints at a playful, inventive approach to problem solving.
