Senior Laravel-focused software engineer building scalable backend systems and high-performance APIs.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Laravel-focused software engineer with 5+ years of experience designing and leading scalable, high-performance web applications. I specialize in backend architecture, performance optimization, and turning complex business rules into reliable, data-driven systems.
In my recent roles, I’ve led backend architecture for multi-tenant Laravel systems, building secure data isolation and scalable onboarding across multiple clients. I’ve also delivered fault-tolerant, high-availability backends for POS and ERP workloads, pairing optimized database schemas and query strategies with technical leadership through code reviews and mentoring.
I bring a strong track record across integrations, platforms, and real-time systems—architecting SAP integrations, building CRM dashboards that improve client insights, and implementing CI/CD pipelines to reduce deployment time. I’m especially drawn to maintainable systems that prioritize scalability, data integrity, and long-term business impact, including real-time dashboards and IoT solutions.
