What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, cloud-native backend systems where I can lead architecture, implement CI/CD/observability, mentor engineers, and deliver high-reliability SaaS products.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years building scalable SaaS platforms, CRM systems, and secure payment integrations using PHP (Laravel, Symfony), MySQL/PostgreSQL, and AWS. I have led refactors from monoliths to microservices, implemented CI/CD pipelines, integrated monitoring, and mentored multiple junior engineers to accelerate team productivity.

I deliver reliable, cloud-native backend solutions that reduce manual work and improve system reliability — automating hundreds of deployments annually, integrating monitoring across dozens of services, and implementing real-time features and payment gateways. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to standardize APIs and improve incident resolution.
