What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build high-performance web APIs and platforms, lead technical initiatives, and combine engineering with digital marketing to drive measurable business growth.

I am a Senior Full Stack Developer and Digital Marketer with extensive experience building APIs, e-commerce and SaaS platforms using PHP, Laravel, MySQL, Docker, Vue and modern front-end tools. I focus on performance, backward compatibility and pragmatic engineering to support Android and iOS clients.

At my current role I upgraded APIs to PHP 8.3 and Laravel 11, improved API performance by up to 75%, implemented async background jobs, and deployed via Laravel Forge and CI/CD pipelines. I have built backend dashboards, integrated payments with local financial institutions, and increased client revenues and operational efficiency.

In parallel I plan and execute PPC, social and SEO strategies that raised organic traffic by 45%, social reach by 28%, and improved email open and click-through rates substantially. I document APIs with Swagger and produce dashboards and analytics to generate actionable insights for stakeholders.

I also lead community initiatives as a Community Leader for the Laravel Ghana Community, organizing meetups, mentoring junior developers, and building partnerships that strengthen the local developer ecosystem.
