Available for new projects
I build the integrations, web apps, and AI tools that connect the systems a business runs on.
13+ years with React, Node.js, Laravel, and WordPress, from Infusionsoft-to-ShipStation bridges to MCP servers that plug Claude into Gmail.

About
I've been building for the web since 2013: WordPress plugins and Infusionsoft integrations first, then Laravel and React apps, and lately AI tooling that plugs models into everyday systems.
Most of my work lives in the middle of a system: the APIs, auth flows, and data plumbing that let different tools talk to each other reliably. I care about software that's fast, accessible, and easy for the next developer to pick up.

Off the clock
Running Cardano stake-pool nodes, lending spare CPU to BOINC science projects, tuning Linux dotfiles, and helping bag toys for the Salvation Army's holiday drive.
What I do
The kinds of work I've done most over the last 13 years.
Connecting the platforms a business already runs on (CRMs, shipping, email) with OAuth flows and custom REST integrations that keep data moving without manual exports.
e.g. GetUShipped, the Infusionsoft OAuth toolkit
Full-stack apps with React and TypeScript on the front end and Node.js or Laravel with MySQL behind them, built to be fast, accessible, and easy to maintain.
e.g. drafti, the stake-pool donation tracker
Custom plugins, post types, and admin workflows for sites that need more than a theme can give them.
e.g. Tooltip and post-type notification plugins
MCP servers and LLM pipelines that plug models like Claude into the tools you already use, running locally where privacy matters.
e.g. gmail-mcp, llm-orchestrate
Selected work
Client integrations, open-source tools, and experiments. The code in each card comes straight from the project.
// Tools exposed to Claude
list_accounts // every signed-in inbox
list_recent_emails // one account's inbox
search_emails // Gmail query syntax
read_email // full body by message ID
A local MCP server that gives Claude Desktop read-only access to several Gmail inboxes at once. Each account signs in with its own OAuth flow, tokens stay on your machine, and the server talks to Claude over stdio, with no cloud hosting.
$ llm-orchestrate scan .
$ llm-orchestrate add . "Add rate limiting"
$ llm-orchestrate run .
# each task lands on llm-orchestrator/<task-id>
An autonomous overnight coding pipeline. It pulls tasks from each project's backlog (plus TODO and FIXME notes it finds in the code), runs them through a nine-phase LLM pipeline on local models only, and commits each result to its own git branch with a Markdown run report.
import { EditorState } from 'draft-js'
import { Drafti } from 'drafti'
const [editorState, setEditorState] = useState(
EditorState.createEmpty()
)
<Drafti editorState={editorState}
setEditorState={setEditorState} />
An experimental rich-text editor component for React, built on Draft.js and published to npm. A learn-in-public project in packaging and shipping a reusable component.
Infusionsoft API
⇅
GetUShipped
⇅
ShipStation API
A direct API integration between Infusionsoft (now Keap) and ShipStation: the bridge that connects a CRM to a shipping platform.
├─ composer.phar
├─ install.php # SDK + app keys
├─ is-authorize.php # OAuth handshake
└─ mysql-db.php # token storage
Two PHP tools for the Infusionsoft API. infusedAuth falls back to the API key if an access token fails and the refresh token is lost. The SDK installer gets new developers running quickly with Composer, the PHP SDK, and access tokens stored in MySQL.
# update every node in the inventory
$ ansible-playbook -i inventory update-nodes.yaml
Infrastructure for running Cardano stake-pool nodes: Ansible playbooks that update every node in an inventory with one command, and a Laravel app that tracks donations made to the pool.
Journey
13 years of building things, from WordPress plugins to AI tooling.
2013
Began my web development career, joined GitHub, and started studying Information Technology at Kennesaw State University.
2015
Shipped custom WordPress plugins, including a tooltip plugin with its own post meta box for choosing the word, color, content, and image.
2016
Built GetUShipped, a direct Infusionsoft to ShipStation integration, and infusedAuth for resilient OAuth against the Infusionsoft API. Made Kennesaw State's President's List that spring.
2017
Wrapped up my Information Technology studies at Kennesaw State and built an installer that gets new developers running with the Infusionsoft PHP SDK, Composer, and MySQL.
2019
Built a PHP web dashboard for monitoring the work running on headless BOINC machines.
2020
Started Comic Nexus, a side project built on the Marvel Comics API.
2021
Published drafti, a Draft.js editor component, to npm, and built a Laravel app that tracks donations to a Cardano stake pool.
2022
Wrote Ansible playbooks that keep every Cardano node in an inventory up to date, and scoped a project-management app with S3 lifecycle rules for archived files.
2026
Built gmail-mcp to give Claude Desktop read-only access to several Gmail inboxes, and llm-orchestrate, an overnight coding pipeline that runs entirely on local models.

“I had the pleasure of working with Garrett for a little over two years. … Most importantly, in my opinion, is the humble attitude Garrett maintains.”
“Garrett is a team player and a definite asset to our team.”
