What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I'm a seasoned Full Stack Developer with over 10 years of experience in the software industry, focusing on scalable web application development and back-end engineering. My expertise lies in PHP, JavaScript, and modern frameworks, complemented by a strong foundation in database design and DevOps practices. I thrive in Agile environments, where I mentor teams and deliver clean, maintainable code that meets real-world business needs.

Throughout my career, I've successfully designed and implemented REST APIs and microservices for high-scale ecommerce operations, significantly improving platform reliability and reducing deployment times through CI/CD optimizations. My passion for continuous learning drives me to stay updated with the latest technologies and best practices, ensuring that I craft reliable systems that support business objectives effectively.
