What I'm looking for

A stable remote team with clear systems, clear communication, and challenging backend work. I’m looking for an environment where I can take ownership of solid PHP/Laravel projects, collaborate with smart engineers, and continuously level up my skills.

Hey! I’m a backend engineer with 5+ years of hands-on experience building web applications with PHP and Laravel. I genuinely love the everyday puzzle of backend work—building reliable REST APIs and designing clean database structures.

I’ve led small dev teams and coached over 50 engineers, but I’m still as hungry to learn as ever. I’m looking for a solid remote team where I can sink my teeth into challenging backend problems, bounce ideas off sharp people, and keep leveling up my craft.

If you’re building cool stuff and need a reliable, easygoing backend partner, let’s talk!

Graduation project: a system to help medical clinics move off paper records — doctors could
log visits, prescriptions, and lab results, and patients could see their own history and get
reminders for their medication times. I led a team of 3, wrote the requirements doc, and built
the Laravel/MySQL backend; a teammate built the Flutter app for patients on top of it.
