What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead engineering teams and modernize legacy platforms, while integrating LLM/GenAI capabilities into enterprise workflows—shipping secure, scalable systems and automation that measurably improves operations and user experience.

I’m a seasoned Senior Software Engineer and Tech Lead with over 17 years building robust web solutions and leading remote teams. My expertise is in PHP and Node.js, backed by SoftwareArchitecture experience and a strong drive to modernize legacy systems across EdTech, Finance, and Logistics.

Recently, I’ve been focused on Applied Artificial Intelligence—integrating LLMs (Large Language Models) and GenerativeAI into enterprise architectures to automate processes and enhance user experience. In my current roles, I lead IT roadmaps, improve security/stability/scalability of core systems with PHP and Docker, and deliver AI integration that automates student support and administrative workflows; alongside building and scaling LMS features using PHP/Phalcon, Node-red, Docker, and RabbitMQ for high-concurrency learning at global scale.
