@alanhayder
Senior full-stack software engineer delivering scalable, high-performance web solutions with React, Node, and PHP.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior software engineer and full stack developer with 10+ years of experience building large-scale SaaS products, blending strong front-end and back-end engineering to solve complex problems. I’ve developed cloud-based SaaS products using PHP, Laravel, and JavaScript frameworks, and I’ve engineered real-time data analytics and smarter automation features.
Across my roles, I’ve led UI/UX design and implementation for enhanced web features, managed migrations from PHP to modern JavaScript frameworks like Node and Angular, and optimized database queries for performance and reliability. I also bring disciplined engineering practices—REST and GraphQL integration, Agile workflows, CI/CD, and scalable deployments on AWS and Google Cloud—to deliver impactful, scalable solutions with high-performance architectures.
