CRISTAN SANCHEZ
@cristansanchez
Software developer in training specializing in back-end APIs, Laravel/PHP, and scalable, service-oriented systems.
ColombiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a software developer in training with a strong academic foundation in systems engineering and a clear focus on analytical problem-solving. My main motivation is to join a team where I can learn from experienced professionals, exchange knowledge, and contribute innovative solutions with up-to-date technologies.
In back-end development, I work on business logic management and service-oriented solutions using modern frameworks and sound architectural practices. I’ve developed and maintained web application interfaces with Laravel (including Blade views) and implemented reliable database-driven behavior with PHP, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
I’ve also supported real-world healthcare-related software by integrating MinIO for local object storage and building database-backed workflows that improve invoice generation and data processing. Alongside that, I’ve gained experience with Docker and practical service-oriented development patterns aligned with SOLID principles and agile methodologies.
On the integration side, I’ve implemented microservices and API integration using FastAPI and Spring Boot. I’ve also built responsive front-end experiences through freelance work with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript/React, coordinating with backend developers to define endpoints and JSON structures.
