What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote-friendly role where I can build secure, scalable Laravel/PHP back ends, create WordPress plugins and themes, and deliver clean RESTful API-driven features with modern front-end experiences.

I’m a results-driven Full-Stack Developer with 4+ years of experience specializing in PHP, Laravel, and the WordPress ecosystem. I architect custom plugins, build RESTful APIs, and convert responsive front-end interfaces into WordPress themes—always prioritizing clean, maintainable, scalable, and secure code.

In my recent role, I architected and developed custom WordPress plugins and themes to extend core website functionality. I also led a migration of a legacy CodeIgniter 3 codebase to CodeIgniter 4, modernizing UI/UX and improving performance, and I built scalable back-end applications using Laravel with Vue.js on the front end.

Across multiple client projects, I architected and developed WordPress plugins and themes end-to-end. I built robust Laravel back-end applications with a focus on scalability and security, and I designed RESTful APIs and administrative dashboards to streamline data management.

Earlier, I worked on website performance, critical bug fixes, and feature development using PHP and modern front-end technologies. I maintained web assets with strong cross-browser compatibility and full mobile responsiveness—so the product not only works, but feels reliable to users.
