21+ years shipping PHP and vanilla JS into production.
Ten repos extracted verbatim from live code. No frameworks. No tutorials.
I've been building for the web since the late 90s - KPMG back-office systems, NY Daily News CMS, OUTFRONT Media reaching millions of commuters daily. Today I run The DJ Calendar, an electronic music discovery platform I founded in 2015: ~1,000 schema.org-rich pages, a custom PHP/MySQL stack, and zero-dependency tooling I build when off-the-shelf answers aren't good enough.
Every repo here is extracted from production code. Not a tutorial. Not a boilerplate. The actual thing, cleaned and documented.
Currently looking for: full-stack web engineering roles, PHP/JavaScript-focused, remote or NJ/NY metro. Also open to senior individual contributor or lead developer positions where I can ship production code and mentor junior engineers.
Currently building: The DJ Calendar Newsletter system - double opt-in subscriber management, PDO-driven, for artist alerts and venue announcements.
The landing page that powers bryanhamilton.info.
8-act jQuery animation suite - particle network, typewriter, 3D card tilt, staggered entrance chain. One file, zero dependencies beyond jQuery. The portfolio anchor that ties everything together.
Everything that powers thedjcalendar.com - extracted as patterns.

Built with PHP, vanilla JS, and the conviction that the best code is the code you don't have to install.
