Senior PHP fullstack developer delivering scalable healthcare and web platforms.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior PHP fullstack developer with 10+ years of experience, focused on remote work and delivering top-tier software for global companies. I build and evolve complex, modular systems—especially where reliability, scalability, and clean integrations matter—so teams can ship confidently across multiple third-party services.
Across roles from backend to frontend, I’ve delivered measurable outcomes: building scalable multi-tenant REST API and client-facing portals, improving room booking efficiency by 30%, reducing data transfer latency and improving responsiveness by 80% through caching, and boosting UX with real-time dashboards and automation. I’m at my best bridging product needs with engineering execution—PHP/Laravel first, with strong JavaScript/Vue.js frontends, DevOps practices, and a focus on maintainable architecture.
