Own the whole stack
Network security, cloud architecture, authentication, and the CI/CD pipelines that hold it all together — built to be understood by the next person, not just the one who wrote it.
Systems Architect / Philadelphia, PA
Building infrastructure that holds up under real load.
I design and own systems end-to-end — networks, cloud platforms, authentication, and the internal tooling that keeps them running. Outside the day job, I build and sell independent software as Laudenslager Software LLC.
What I work on
Independent software
Self-contained tools built end-to-end — licensing, storefront, delivery — and priced for the craft that went into them, not the margin.
Field notes
Real setups, real failure modes. WireGuard tunnels, LDAP auth, HTTPS in Docker — the parts of the job that don't fit in a tutorial.
