Senior Laravel Developer at ARCHER Systems, securing Azure environments and rotating encryption keys across 1,700+ records with zero data loss.

India

Message

At ARCHER Systems LLC, I develop PHP and Laravel modules and strengthen application security. I rotated encryption keys across 1,700+ claimant records with zero data loss and resolved Tenable findings through OWASP-aligned hardening.

I also led the migration of four environments to new Azure infrastructure, configuring CI/CD pipelines, Nginx, and SSL/TLS. I integrated Azure Service Bus messaging and resolved production middleware and SSL configuration issues.

As a Tech Lead at Freelancer, I built goSocial, a real-time social networking platform using Laravel and Pusher WebSockets. I also oversaw architecture and code quality across projects and supervised cross-functional development teams.

At Moon Technolabs, I led development of SwitchBoard and SmartLaunch, reducing dashboard load times by about 60% through MySQL query caching and index tuning. Earlier, I built CityDataUSA, an analytics platform covering 75,000+ US locations, and advanced from developer to Team Lead at Av Devs.
