What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead and architect scalable SaaS platforms—building reliable Laravel/PHP systems and automation that stay accessible for non-technical users, while mentoring teams and improving delivery with Agile.

I bring a strong combination of academic depth, with an MSc in Computer Science, and over ten years of hands-on experience in Laravel engineering and system architecture. I focus on building and scaling SaaS platforms for non-technical users, aligning automation with simplicity.

At Tripesa, I lead development of internal and customer-facing tools that help small and medium-sized businesses manage online presence and payments without technical expertise. Previously at Bleecom, I drove deep technical investigations, legacy system migrations, and cross-functional troubleshooting—effectively translating technical challenges into clear, user-centered solutions.
