What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level backend web developer role focused on Laravel-based API development, database optimization, and real-time features in a collaborative team that values clear communication and growth.

I am a motivated software engineering student focused on backend web development, with hands-on experience building Laravel-based, API-driven applications. I have implemented user authentication with Laravel Sanctum, integrated Pusher and Laravel Broadcasting for real-time notifications, and reduced server load by optimizing SQL queries.

I hold a B.Sc. in Software Engineering at Homs University and have freelanced as a translator for technical documentation and documentaries, sharpening my communication and attention to detail. I collaborate effectively in team environments and seek opportunities to contribute to backend systems, API development, and database optimization.
