What I'm looking for

I seek roles building backend systems and integrations within collaborative teams that value scalable solutions, clear communication, and timely delivery.

I am an energetic, resourceful full‑stack PHP developer with strong communication skills and a proven track record building and maintaining web applications, CMS and e‑commerce stores. I specialize in backend development with PHP/Laravel, building integrations (SMS gateways, payment processors, APIs) and deploying reliable solutions across WordPress, Shopify and custom platforms.

I have delivered projects for clients and employers across the U.K., Europe and the U.S., improving organic visibility through SEO best practices and implementing production features like cron automation, JWT security, real‑time messaging, and subscription billing. I adapt quickly to new priorities, work well independently or in teams, and focus on delivering projects on time and within budget.
