What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable backend systems and microservices, lead technical decisions, optimize performance, and collaborate with teams that value clean architecture, reliable delivery, and continuous improvement.

I've built and optimized backend systems, business platforms, and scalable microservices across IIS E-Solutions, Moobitek, ClinGroup, and Absolutely Digital. My work centers on PHP, Laravel, MySQL, REST APIs, performance optimization, and production reliability.

I've led technical decisions, migrated API systems from native PHP to Laravel, developed CMS and multi-application APIs, and built automated employee activity and KPI tracking systems. I also lead development teams, conduct code reviews, maintain CI pipelines, and am expanding into Java and Spring Boot microservices.
