John Rua
Open to work Résumé

Full stack developer, New York City

Software that ships and lasts.

A decade of PHP and JavaScript in production, including years as a lead developer: enterprise platforms, REST integrations, ERP with SAML single sign-on.

What I do

Software that replaces the spreadsheet, the inbox and the manual handoff.

Web applications

PHP and Laravel apps with real users: intake forms, approvals, reporting dashboards. Documented and handoff-ready.

PHP Laravel MySQL JavaScript

Integrations & SSO

REST plumbing between systems that don't speak, and SAML single sign-on wired into enterprise identity.

Automating the manual

Spreadsheet-and-email workflows become software. Fewer errors, faster cycles, numbers you can put in a grant application.

Stack

Highlighted tools are the ones I reach for first.

Backend

PHP REST APIs OOP & patterns PowerShell Python Laravel

Frontend

HTML5 & CSS JavaScript jQuery & AJAX SASS / SCSS Bootstrap React / Vue
