What I'm looking for

I am seeking backend-focused roles (Laravel/PHP) where I can design APIs, mentor teams, work on scalable systems, and contribute to product and process improvements in a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I am a Senior Laravel backend developer with a BSc in Computing and a strong focus on building scalable web APIs and backend systems. I bring several years of progressive backend experience across startups and agencies, mentoring juniors and leading projects from inception to deployment.

At CodeVatika and Mantra Ideas I spearheaded new projects, refactored legacy systems, and designed robust database schemas and RESTful APIs for React and Flutter clients. I also handled server management (VPS, cPanel) and implemented security measures like encryption, authentication, and authorization.

I have experience as an intern and associate developer, where I contributed to admin portals, microservice features, and numerous freelance and packaged Laravel libraries. I actively participate in client meetings, project planning, code reviews, and documentation to ensure maintainability and alignment with business goals.

I am passionate about continuous learning and knowledge sharing, regularly mentoring interns and contributing to open-source Laravel packages. I seek roles where I can continue building backend systems, improve developer workflows, and deliver high-quality software solutions.
