I build scalable full-stack and AI-powered applications, APIs, and cloud-backed systems for international products.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered PHP/Laravel backend and AI-powered applications for international clients through Upwork, integrating OpenAI and Anthropic APIs, RAG, vector search, AI agents, tool calling, and FastAPI services.
At Privilee, I rebuilt the internal admin dashboard and REST APIs with Laminas, MongoDB, MySQL, Docker, and AWS, improving maintainability and operational reliability across user and membership management.
I've built modular Laravel and Vue.js features for a centralized e-commerce platform, modernized legacy PHP applications, and created reusable CMS and backend components for multi-site builds.
I focus on clean architecture, performance, reliability, automated testing, and maintainable integrations across PHP, Python, SQL, cloud infrastructure, and distributed backend systems.
