What I'm looking for

I seek a developer role where I can apply PHP/MySQL and CMS expertise, work on product-focused projects, own integrations and backend systems, and grow with a collaborative team that values maintainability and continuous learning.

I am a senior web developer with seven years of hands-on experience building and maintaining PHP/MySQL web applications, CMS-driven sites (WordPress, WooCommerce, Joomla, Magento, OpenCart, X-Cart, osCommerce, Shopify), and REST API integrations for web and mobile. I have led development and maintenance of company portals, sales and HR backends, voice-app backends, hosting and email management, and SEO for production sites.

My background includes end-to-end project delivery across freelancing and agency roles, designing account and finance management systems, implementing CRUD-heavy MySQL solutions, and creating custom modules and plugins. I prioritize reliable integrations, maintainable code, and continuous learning of newer web technologies to deliver business-focused results.
