I also built APIs for third-party business integrations. At ICT Networld, I redesigned core business logic and refactored a legacy codebase, integrated payment gateway and SMS services, and patched critical security vulnerabilities. I also mentored junior developers and collaborated with mobile teams. I built the Webloit e-commerce platform from zero, including its Laravel backend, JavaScript and CSS frontend, and WordPress blog. I later refactored its codebase from vanilla PHP to a Laravel-powered architecture. I’ve authored nine open-source PHP and Laravel packages, including Ego, a universal payment gateway switcher, and Vuelar, a Vue and Laravel pagination helper. My work also includes developing i-Runs.com, a school management and education platform, and publishing apps on Google Play. ``` ## Experience ### Full-Stack Developer LegitCar.
