What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a product-focused role where I can build and optimize scalable SaaS platforms with clean APIs and real-time features, own performance and reliability, and collaborate cross-functionally—while mentoring engineers and raising engineering standards.

I’m an experienced Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 8+ years specializing in PHP/Laravel development and high-concurrency systems. I build scalable applications for SaaS platforms, with a focus on backend API integrations, real-time messaging, and performance-driven engineering.

At Disney, I developed and optimized Laravel-based backend services for high-traffic media applications, integrating external APIs for content delivery and monitoring. I delivered end-to-end playback authorization, session monitoring, and operational analytics, while improving reliability under peak load through caching, rate limiting, and fault-tolerance mechanisms.

I also led scalable real-time workloads using queues (Redis, Beanstalkd) and built SSR-based monitoring portals with Laravel + Vue.js to improve load performance, SEO visibility, and internal usability. I set frontend and backend coding standards that increased maintainability and development velocity, and I mentored junior engineers through code reviews and architecture discussions.

Earlier, at Global Logic, I delivered Laravel microservices and real-time dashboards for order and courier tracking using WebSockets, plus RESTful integrations with CRM, messaging, and payments. I’ve also built PCI-aligned, secure transaction services for real-time credit approval and financing workflows, and I’ve modernized legacy systems to reduce technical debt and improve long-term scalability.
