What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote, product-focused backend role where I can own production systems end-to-end—gather requirements, define acceptance criteria, design scalable REST APIs, and deliver well-tested solutions with strong stakeholder collaboration.

I’m a Senior Laravel Developer with 5+ years of experience building and owning production systems used across multiple locations. I’m strong at bridging business needs and technical execution by gathering requirements directly from stakeholders and defining clear acceptance criteria before I start building.

In my recent role, I owned backend systems powering multiple production healthcare platforms used daily by clinical and operations teams. I designed and built REST APIs consumed by web and mobile applications, led architectural decisions (including asynchronous processing and audit logging redesign), and improved reliability and response times through database optimization and background job processing.

I also build internal tools to reduce support investigation time and improve operational visibility, collaborating closely with DevOps on deployments across demo, staging, and multiple production environments. Earlier, I contributed to large-scale production systems, built REST APIs for data synchronization, and delivered a full-stack web application with secure REST APIs, relational schemas, and rule-based permission logic.
