Developer Playbooks

React Experience Blueprint

Design systems, streaming delivery, and LiveOps telemetry for React platforms that feel fast, expressive, and measurable.

React is my sandbox for crafting resilient web surfaces that feel cinematic without sacrificing maintainability. I lean on modern React 18 patterns—Suspense, Server Components, and granular data boundaries—so marketing funnels and app flows stay buttery smooth even under production scale.

Component libraries are versioned with full accessibility coverage and visual regression guards.
Every environment is wired with observability out of the box: Sentry, LaunchDarkly, Lighthouse CI, and Calibre.
Infra footprints—from Vite dev servers to Lambda@Edge rollouts—are optimized for teams that need to ship daily.

See React setup Performance guardrails

Laravel Service Orchestration

Modular domains, resilient queues, and telemetry fan-out that make Laravel the backbone of product and LiveOps delivery.

Laravel is my control tower for business logic that has to stay reliable while moving fast. From Sail sandboxes to Octane production pools, I factor in environments early so developers, QA, and ops teams have the same experience—repeatable, observable, and rollback-friendly.

Domain-driven modules keep APIs, jobs, and policies isolated yet composable.
Async workloads flow through Horizon, Temporal, or Vapor without sacrificing debuggability.
Security playbooks cover secrets rotation, WebAuthn, policy audits, and SOC2-ready logging.

Laravel setup Deployment playbooks

Next.js Edge Platforms

App Router orchestration, geo-personalized middleware, at edge-first deployment strategies for unified funnels.

Next.js helps me blend marketing experiments, gated app flows, and admin tooling under one App Router. I treat the edge as a first-class runtime: middleware personalizes journeys, Server Actions handle mutations, and static generation keeps the fastest paths blazing.

Route groups separate marketing, product, and admin surfaces while sharing design tokens.
Streaming data boundaries keep content interactive even when APIs work overtime.
Observability hooks (Upstash logs, Datadog RUM, Sentry releases) watch every release channel.

Next.js setup Edge deployment flow

Vue Progressive Delivery

Composition APIs, Nuxt islands, and Playwright guardrails for Vue builds that stay fast and scalable.

Vue lets me scale from lightweight kiosks to Nuxt-powered platforms with confidence. Composition APIs, domain-scoped Pinia stores, and UnoCSS utilities keep features modular—while Playwright and Vitest guarantee regressions never sneak through.

Nuxt islands deliver SEO-rich pages without over-hydrating the browser.
Design tokens sync through Tailwind, UnoCSS, or Nuxt UI so teams build fast and on-brand.
DX tooling—Volar, Vitest, GraphQL codegen—keeps the feedback loop insanely short.

Setup & Installation

1. Scaffold the workspace

I start by generating a Vite + React + TypeScript workspace so the dev server stays fast while I iterate.

Create the project

2. Wire Tailwind CSS 4 design tokens

Next I install Tailwind CSS 4 with PostCSS/Autoprefixer, then extend the theme with our shared design tokens.

Install Tailwind CSS

tailwind.config.ts

import type { Config } from 'tailwindcss';
import defaultTheme from 'tailwindcss/defaultTheme';

export default {
	content: ['./index.html', './src/**/*.{ts,tsx,mdx}'],
	theme: {
		extend: {
			fontFamily: {
				sans: ['"InterVariable"', ...defaultTheme.fontFamily.sans],
			},
			colors: {
				brand: {
					50: '#fff7f5',
					500: '#F53003',
					700: '#bb2402',
				},
			},
		},
	},
	plugins: [],
} satisfies Config;

3. Install UI primitives and data layer

With styling set, I install shadcn/ui components and TanStack Query so the UI and data layer move in sync.

Generate shadcn/ui primitives

Add TanStack Query

src/main.tsx

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import App from './App.tsx';
import './index.css';

const queryClient = new QueryClient();

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')!).render(
	<React.StrictMode>
		<QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
			<App />
		</QueryClientProvider>
	</React.StrictMode>,
);

4. Enable linting & telemetry

Finally I wire ESLint/Prettier and add Sentry so build quality and runtime visibility are locked in.

Install quality and telemetry tooling

Architecture Patterns

Rendering Model

• Hybrid SPA: TanStack Router for routing with Suspense boundaries per route.
• Defer non-critical widgets via dynamic `import()` + React.lazy.

Data Flow

• GraphQL gateway with generated hooks via GraphQL Codegen.
• Realtime events bridged by Pusher Channels or AWS AppSync.

LiveOps Hooks

• Feature flag adapters (LaunchDarkly + custom YAML).
• In-app announcements delivered via CMS webhooks.

Preferred Libraries

UI & Styling

• Tailwind CSS with shared tokens synced from Figma.
• shadcn/ui (Radix primitives) for accessible building blocks.
• Framer Motion with `tailwind-merge` for clean animation control.

Developer Experience

• Playwright component and smoke suites backed by Percy snapshots.
• msw so I can develop offline while keeping the API contract honest.
• Hygen generators (`npx hygen feature new`) for repeatable feature scaffolding.

Content & Localization

• Contentlayer whenever MDX needs to stay type-safe.
• LinguiJS for an ICU-friendly localization workflow.
• Cloudinary SDK plus vite-imagetools for responsive assets.

State & Data Flow

Patterns

• I keep `/src/features/<domain>` self-contained with components, hooks, and tests.
• TanStack Query is the backbone for remote data with devtools on by default.
• Zustand + immer power lightweight shared UI state such as modals or wizards.

Data Pipeline

• GraphQL Code Generator or `openapi-typescript` keep API usage fully typed.
• `ky` combined with `zod` validates every REST response before hitting the UI.
• Realtime streams from Pusher or Supabase dispatch into Zustand actions.

Authentication & Security

Preferred Providers

• Auth0 whenever the client needs enterprise SSO.
• Clerk for rapid onboarding with hosted widgets and MFA.
• Supabase Auth when prototypes need fast row-level security.

Security Practices

• TanStack Router `beforeLoad` plus Suspense fallbacks guard protected routes.
• JWTs stay in HTTP-only cookies with a background refresh worker.
• Helmet, CSP, and Trusted Types run on the edge layer (Netlify or CloudFront).

Performance & Optimization

Checklist

• Hold the main bundle under 180kb using `npm run analyze` (with `rollup-plugin-visualizer`).
• Lazy-load analytics and heatmaps only after user consent during idle time.
• Virtualize heavy tables and feeds with `@tanstack/react-virtual` or `react-window`.
• Preload fonts via `@fontsource` or manual `<link rel="preload">` tags to avoid CLS.

Tooling

• Lighthouse CI gates the GitHub Actions pipeline before merging.
• Sentry Performance + Replay reveals real-user slowdowns.
• Calibre synthetic checks alert Slack when performance budgets break.

Deployment & Ops

Strategies

Preview Branches: Amplify Hosting + GitHub Environments
Mainline: Blue/green with canary at 10% / 30% / 100%

Setup & Installation

1. Bootstrap the application

I scaffold a fresh Laravel 12 project, then decide whether Sail or Octane fits the workload.

Create the project

Choose runtime

2. Install dev tooling & domain scaffolds

Before shipping features I bring in testing, static analysis, and DTO tooling.

Add dev dependencies

composer.json (scripts)

"scripts": {
		"test": "pest",
		"analyse": "vendor/bin/phpstan analyse",
		"lint": "vendor/bin/pint"
}

3. Lay down authentication & seeds

With tooling in place I scaffold Breeze, publish configuration, and seed the baseline data so every environment matches.

Scaffold Breeze + run seeds

database/seeders/DatabaseSeeder.php

public function run(): void
{
		$this->call([
				RolesTableSeeder::class,
				AdminUserSeeder::class,
		]);
}

Setup & Installation

1. Bootstrap the App Router workspace

I scaffold a Next.js project with the App Router, Tailwind, and ESLint enabled so the project comes opinionated from the start.

Create the project

2. Install shadcn/ui and shared tokens

I generate only the component primitives I need from shadcn/ui and map our design tokens into Tailwind.

Generate shadcn/ui components

tailwind.config.ts

import type { Config } from 'tailwindcss';
import animate from 'tailwindcss-animate';

const config: Config = {
	darkMode: ['class'],
	content: [
		'./src/**/*.{ts,tsx,mdx}',
	],
	theme: {
		extend: {
			colors: {
				brand: {
					500: '#F53003',
					900: '#1b1b18',
				},
			},
		},
	},
	plugins: [animate],
};

export default config;

3. Wire data access and observability

Finally I install the data-fetching primitives and telemetry hooks to keep the App Router monitored in production.

Add TanStack Query & instrumentation

next.config.mjs

import { defineConfig } from 'next';
import { withSentryConfig } from '@sentry/nextjs';

const config = defineConfig({
	experimental: {
		instrumentationHook: true,
	},
	images: {
		remotePatterns: [{ hostname: 'images.ctfassets.net' }],
	},
});

export default withSentryConfig(config, { silent: true });

Setup & Installation

1. Scaffold the workspace

I start with the official `create-vue` scaffolder for SPA builds, or Nuxt if the project needs SSR and hybrid routing from day one.

Create a Vue SPA

Bootstrap a Nuxt project

2. Lay down styling tokens

Tailwind or UnoCSS keeps tokens consistent across Vue and Nuxt surfaces while staying design-system friendly.

Install Tailwind CSS

Add UnoCSS (lightweight alternative)

tailwind.config.cjs

module.exports = {
	content: ['./index.html', './src/**/*.{vue,js,ts}'],
	theme: {
		extend: {
			colors: {
				brand: {
					500: '#42D392',
					900: '#132b22'
				}
			}
		}
	},
	plugins: []
};

3. Wire routing, state, and data

Vue Router, Pinia, and data utilities like TanStack Query or Apollo make the workspace production-ready.

Install routing + state management

Pick your data layer

src/main.ts

import { createApp } from 'vue';
import { createPinia } from 'pinia';
import { VueQueryPlugin } from '@tanstack/vue-query';
import App from './App.vue';
import router from './router';

createApp(App)
	.use(createPinia())
	.use(VueQueryPlugin)
	.use(router)
	.mount('#app');

4. Enable quality gates & automation

I bake in linting, formatting, and testing so the feedback loop stays tight and CI mirrors local dev.

Install linting + formatting

Set up testing
