Laravel backend developer with 7+ years building scalable REST APIs and fintech/e-commerce platforms.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Laravel Backend Developer with 7+ years of experience building and maintaining API-driven web applications across fintech platforms, POS systems, HRMS, and e-commerce. I focus on RESTful APIs, backend performance, database optimization, and scalable architecture that holds up in production.
Most recently, as a Team Lead / Senior Software Engineer, I developed and maintained scalable Laravel backend systems for high-concurrency, API-driven applications. I designed RESTful APIs for mobile and web clients, and improved performance using MySQL query optimization and caching strategies—while collaborating asynchronously with product and QA teams across multiple time zones.
Earlier roles strengthened my ability to deliver secure, reliable systems independently. I built large-scale Laravel applications with secure API integrations, implemented authentication/authorization and financial transaction workflows, and optimized backend services to improve response time and system stability.
I started by developing enterprise-grade web applications using Laravel and CodeIgniter, and I continue to value clean API design and practical performance tuning. I enjoy working with international clients, translating requirements into working backend features, and shipping production-ready solutions that customers can depend on.
