For Avid / Sr. FSWD Plano, TX April 2026

Hi Chris, and the Avid team.

I’m Caleb White. Thanks for considering me for the Senior Full Stack Web Developer position. This position looks like my perfect role. I love the stack (Laravel & Vue), the non-profit customer base, the location and hybrid setup, and the team; I already know quite a few of you, actually.

I would bring 10 years of Laravel/Vue experience and more than 20 years of web experience as a whole. I have worked almost exclusively in the non-profit space over my career, and I have a strong product-driven approach to building software. Also, people seem to enjoy having me around, so there’s that.

◆  Why this fits

Honestly, this looks like a me-shaped role.

  1. Laravel

    I’ve been working in Laravel for over ten years, starting way back on 5.2. I am all-in and extremely proficient in the framework and ecosystem. I’ve built and maintained a variety of Laravel projects solo or on a small team. Most recently, I’ve been working on a platform rebuild for Work&, but I also have Laravel projects on my personal website, most applicably would be Mjolnir, a Laravel + Vue product I built largely solo.

  2. Vue

    I’ve been using Vue since v1, and it quickly became my favorite way to build a front-end. I’m deeply comfortable with both Options and Composition API, Vuex/Pinia, and Nuxt. I’ve primarily used it alongside a Laravel backend connected via API or Inertia, but I recently built out an MVP for a FinTech start-up in Nuxt against a colleague’s .NET backend.

  3. Non-profit Experience

    I’ve spent the majority of my career building software for non-profit organizations: Pursuant (collegiate fundraising), Fellowship Technologies (ChMS), and 52projects (faith-based SaaS). I understand the challenges and nuances of the space, and I deeply appreciate knowing that my work is directly helping causes I care about.

  4. AI

    I’ve been honing my AI workflow to a place where agents do a lot of the code generation, but I’m still driving the architecture and reviewing every line before it’s committed. I’ve also been building LLM-powered features directly into products, leveraging off-the-shelf tools as well as custom-built implementations for summaries, data mapping, and trend analysis.

  5. Mutual Trust Collaboration

    I do my best work on a small team in which everyone owns their responsibilities. Energy from collaboration is an essential fuel for me, but the majority of my day-to-day work requires little interaction. I know what I’m responsible for, and it will get done or I will raise a flag. When a whole team has that mindset, it just doesn’t get much better.

  6. Hybrid Office

    I’ve been at fully in-office and fully remote positions, but hybrid is my ideal. I live in Plano, so I can easily be in the office as often as I need.
