What I'm looking for

I seek senior technical roles building scalable web platforms, with collaborative teams, mentorship opportunities, and focus on modern PHP stacks, CMS integrations, and automation.

I am a senior PHP developer and web engineer with deep experience building scalable web applications, CMS integrations, system integrations, and high-performing multi-site platforms for agencies, startups, and government clients. I focus on Laravel, WordPress, WooCommerce, Filament, Livewire, and related tooling to deliver reliable, maintainable solutions while improving UX, analytics, and operational efficiency.

At recent roles I led legacy redevelopment and data migrations, implemented high-performance search and background processing, and introduced AI-assisted workflows that improved development efficiency. I mentor junior developers, collaborate cross-functionally with designers and PMs, and design infrastructure and automation to ensure long-term scalability and resilience.
