What I'm looking for

I want a backend role where I can optimize databases, lead migrations, improve system performance, and work on scalable web applications with a collaborative team.

I am a backend PHP developer focused on building reliable, performant web systems using PHP (Core, CakePHP, Laravel), MySQL and PostgreSQL. I deliver measurable improvements in performance and uptime, having reduced query execution times by up to 40% and completed major migrations with zero downtime.

My recent work includes upgrading PHP and MySQL versions for large projects, migrating databases to PostgreSQL, implementing APIs (print dispatch note), and adding blockchain-based trace-and-track on Google Maps to improve product tracking accuracy. I optimize large queries, refactor legacy code, and automate processes to improve maintainability and real-time synchronization.

I seek roles where I can apply strong backend engineering, database optimization, and deployment expertise to drive business outcomes and improve user experience through robust, secure web applications.
