Available to hire
Hi, I’m Scott Hummel, a full-stack developer with over 14 years of experience specializing in PHP and back-end technologies. I’ve built and maintained Drupal and Laravel-based systems, often on MySQL-backed platforms for Fortune 500 clients, and I’ve used PHP 5.6 through 8.x. I’ve led remote projects and cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality web solutions.
I’m passionate about performance, security, and clean code. I enjoy upgrading large applications through major Drupal and Laravel versions, integrating modern frameworks and APIs, and helping teams adopt best practices for scalable, accessible web solutions.
