What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead backend teams building scalable, event-driven APIs with strong performance and CI/CD/SRE practices, where I can mentor engineers and own architecture decisions.

I’m a Backend Team Lead and Senior Laravel Developer with 7+ years of experience architecting scalable backend systems and leading engineering teams. I specialize in Laravel, Spring Boot, and RESTful API development, with a strong focus on performance optimization and reliability.

At EXAB, I lead and mentor a 6-member backend team and improved CI/CD pipeline efficiency by 25% using GitHub Actions automation. I also reduced production rollback incidents by 40% with SRE-aligned health checks and release planning, and I introduced Dockerized environments while piloting Kubernetes deployment.

I thrive on mentoring engineers and building robust, event-driven systems that power real-world applications across e-commerce, logistics, education, and property management. My engineering ethos combines clean architecture, DevOps culture, and predictable releases through CI/CD, SRE principles, and Agile delivery.
