@areebmalik
Software Engineer specializing in Laravel/PHP backend and React-driven full-stack web apps.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable web applications across SaaS, product-based, and freelance environments. I focus on delivering clean, maintainable, and secure solutions in fast-paced, distributed teams.
On the backend, I work deeply with PHP (OOP) and the Laravel framework, building RESTful APIs and optimizing systems for performance and stability. I’ve supported production reliability through timely hotfixes and CI/CD pipelines, while modernising and improving legacy codebases.
I also bring strong full-stack collaboration skills, including frontend development with React.js and UI refinements that improve usability. In projects like affiliate system improvements and task/analytics modules, I translate requirements into working features—from core logic to user-facing interfaces.
I enjoy ownership and accountability in end-to-end delivery, including data integrity work such as automated Excel imports, duplicate detection, and partial-record updates. I’m motivated to keep growing by tackling challenging product problems and continuously improving code quality through approaches like Test-Driven Development (TDD).
