Arthur Sarukhanyan
@arthursarukhanyan
Backend developer building Laravel platforms, including a shipment-pricing system that unified four carriers behind one interface.
What I'm looking for
I built a shipment-pricing platform from scratch, integrating DPD, DHL, UPS, and FedEx behind a common interface for dynamic pricing and package calculations. I used service-layer architecture and repositories so additional carriers could be added without changing existing code.
On an OpenCart furniture marketplace, I cut average page load times from 15–20 seconds to 2–3 seconds through SQL query optimization and business-logic refactoring. I also built a product-import system and added Sphinx Search. I'm based in Yerevan and open to remote international full-time and contract roles.
