I build scalable payment, SaaS, and full-stack platforms across PHP, Node.js, React, and cloud infrastructure.

I've built and scaled cashier, payment, and SaaS systems at GIMO, including payment processing for a platform handling 600K+ monthly transactions and migration work supporting 250K+ monthly users.

I lead backend-heavy delivery across PHP, Laravel, Symfony, C#, Node.js, React, and cloud-native infrastructure. I've reduced API latency by 30%, delivered a multi-tenant food-ordering platform for UK businesses, and mentor engineers through architecture, code reviews, CI/CD, and reliable production operations.
