Open to freelance, consulting, and long-term remote collaborations.

Building

Laravel Truss

✓ Shipped v1.15.1

A live, zoomable ER diagram of your Laravel app's actual database schema, safe to run in production. Structure only, never data. Now speaks MCP, so a coding agent can read your live schema instead of a stale paste. A companion plugin, filament-truss, brings the same diagram into a Filament panel.

Docs GitHub Install Filament plugin Support on Ko-fi
