I build and integrate reliable PHP, WordPress, and MySQL business systems for real-world operations.
What I'm looking for
I'm a Senior Full-Stack Developer and IT Systems Specialist with 10+ years of experience designing, developing, deploying, and managing business-critical software systems.
My work goes beyond websites. I've built and managed real-world systems used in day-to-day operations, including:
• School management systems covering student records, fees, examinations, and accounts
• Biometric attendance systems with Hikvision hardware integration and real-time analytics
• Examination management platforms with automated seating, scheduling, and role-based access
• Business and POS system integrations for multiple organizations
• Classified marketplace platforms and custom web applications
• Custom WordPress plugins and business dashboards
My core technical experience includes PHP, JavaScript/TypeScript, MySQL, WordPress, API and hardware integration, database-driven applications, Linux/SSH, cPanel, system administration, and production deployment.
Alongside software development, I currently lead an IT department, managing technology operations while remaining hands-on with software development, system integration, troubleshooting, and technical problem-solving.
I enjoy turning complex business requirements into practical, reliable software systems.
I'm currently open to senior software development, full-stack development, application development, and IT systems roles, including opportunities in Germany and other international markets.
