What I'm looking for

I’m open to remote backend or fullstack roles, where I can design reliable integrations, build scalable APIs and real-time search, and deliver production-ready systems while leveraging AI coding agents.

I’m a Fullstack developer with 8+ years of hands-on experience delivering product development for U.S. and Canadian markets. My core stack is PHP/Laravel on the backend and React/TypeScript or Vue 3 on the frontend.

I specialize in designing third-party integrations and solving performance problems at scale, most notably real-time search on Elasticsearch. I’ve taken features from proof-of-concept to production, including complex booking and filtering logic where performance and reliability both mattered.

I’m technology-agnostic: I pick up new stacks as needed and work with AI coding agents daily. In every role, I focus on strong engineering practices (API design, code review, testing, and debugging) and building systems that stay reliable under real-world edge cases.
