What I'm looking for

I seek backend or full-stack roles focused on PHP/Laravel where I can build secure, performant systems, work in Agile teams, and grow into technical leadership.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 5.5 years of professional experience building robust, secure, and high-performance web applications using PHP and modern backend technologies.

I have deep expertise in Laravel, CodeIgniter, Yii2, and Symfony, and have designed efficient database schemas and optimized complex queries to improve application performance and scalability.

I work effectively in Agile/Scrum teams using Jira, conduct code reviews, write unit and integration tests, and collaborate across functions to deliver features on time while maintaining high code quality.

My projects include fintech payment systems, e-commerce platforms, job boards, and real-time features such as WebSockets and push notifications; I prioritize security, performance, and excellent user experience in every build.
