What I'm looking for

I want to build scalable eCommerce/enterprise platforms where I can architect REST APIs and microservices, optimize performance, and integrate real-world payment and third-party systems—using AWS and Agile practices to ship reliably and fast.

I’m a Full Stack Developer with 7+ years of proven experience architecting and delivering scalable web applications, backend systems, and modern user interfaces for eCommerce and enterprise platforms. I specialize in PHP/Laravel and JavaScript/Vue.js, with strong expertise in C# and ASP.NET Core for API development and microservices architecture.

In my current role at IThire, I architected and deployed 8+ full-stack applications using Laravel, Vue.js, and ASP.NET Core, supporting 100+ active clients with zero critical downtime. I designed RESTful APIs for client systems and internal services, improving API response efficiency by 35%, and integrated 15+ third-party services including Stripe/PayPal, analytics platforms, and notification systems.

I focus heavily on performance and reliability. I optimized database queries and caching strategies across MySQL and PostgreSQL, improving system performance by 40% (average response time: 2.5s → 1.5s) and led 6+ projects from planning to production, reducing delivery time by 25% through process optimization.

My broader track record includes building eCommerce and CMS solutions in Laravel and Vue.js (including $50K+ in client revenue), maintaining OpenCart platforms with 99.5% uptime, and automating internal workflows by building dashboards and backend systems that saved 20+ hours/week. I’ve also delivered major modernization work—migrating an OpenCart store to a Laravel + Vue.js stack that improved load time by 50% and increased conversion by 15%—and built a payment gateway integration suite supporting Stripe, PayPal, and local payment systems with $2M+ processed transactions.
