What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a fully remote, fast-shipping environment where I can build reliable, scalable systems, lead and mentor engineers, improve delivery quality through testing and automation, and proactively solve production problems.

I've led backend engineering for Lab2View's Zeney Pay and Bewallet, building and maintaining reliable services for online banking, remittance, and payment systems processing over 1M transactions.

At Workbud, I improved application loading time by about 60%, introduced deterministic error handling, and built responsive interfaces with real-time REST and WebSocket integrations. I also mentored junior engineers and strengthened delivery through unit tests and GitHub Actions CI/CD.

Across PHP, Laravel, JavaScript, SQL, and modern frontend and mobile stacks, I build APIs, improve database performance, migrate legacy systems, and proactively fix production issues in fast-shipping remote teams.
