What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with deep backend expertise in PHP/Laravel and modern frontend experience using Vue.js, experienced in building scalable B2B/B2C platforms, designing REST APIs, and integrating third-party systems. I focus on modular monolith architecture, database performance optimization, CI/CD automation, and containerized deployments to deliver reliable, maintainable systems.
I have led and shipped multiple production services — from job-seeking platforms and affiliate marketing APIs to e-commerce CRMs — improving performance, scalability, and developer onboarding through refactoring, CI/CD improvements, testing standardization, and tooling. I mentor junior engineers, drive architectural consistency, and apply LLM tools to streamline workflows and boost team productivity.
