What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a backend role where I can solve real-world problems, grow with a collaborative team, and build scalable systems. I value clean code, clear communication, and taking ownership of impactful features. I'm especially drawn to roles that support learning, code reviews, and innovation with modern backend tech.

I’m a dedicated and versatile professional with a background in backend development, currently focused on building impactful solutions that solve real-world problems. Over the past 2 years, I’ve worked on various projects, gaining hands-on experience in technologies like PHP with Laravel, WordPress, MySQL.

I enjoy working in collaborative teams, where I can contribute both technically and strategically. I’m especially passionate about automation, clean architecture, user-centered functionalities, and I’m always seeking new challenges that push my skills and expand my knowledge.

Outside work, I’m actively involved in open source contributions, mentoring, photography, fitness, etc. I believe in continuous learning and enjoy staying updated on industry trends to remain adaptable in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Some highlights:

  • Developed a Laravel-based Activity Tracker with role-based dashboards and PDF/Excel export.

  • Built a full-featured Learning Management System (LMS) with course management, authentication, and notifications.

  • Implemented a Health & Wellness Task Manager with reminders and future wearable device integration.

  • Designed a Hotel Management System with an admin dashboard using Colorlib and Laravel.

  • Created a referral system with secure Laravel authentication and referral tracking.

  • Developed a daily support activity reporting system for application support teams.

  • Deployed Laravel apps via Render, ngrok (for demos), and Laravel Forge for production readiness.

  • Engineered modular, scalable backend architectures focused on usability, performance, and maintainability.

I’m excited about opportunities that align with purpose-driven work, technical growth, and making a positive impact.
