What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own end-to-end product delivery—architecture, APIs, authentication, and production infrastructure—while improving performance and shipping reliably with modern React/Next.js and Laravel.

I’m a Full-Stack Engineer with 4+ years delivering end-to-end production systems across fintech, enterprise SaaS, marketplace, and government sectors. I’m equally fluent in React and Next.js on the frontend and Laravel and PHP on the backend, and I own the full production lifecycle—from API design and database architecture to Nginx/Apache configuration, CI/CD, and reliable deployments.

In my recent work, I’ve architected Laravel APIs and built React/Next.js interfaces with no handoff gaps between layers, while maintaining Node.js codebases and designing RBAC-gated authentication flows across API and UI layers. I’ve also driven performance improvements using Redis caching, lazy loading, and query optimisation, and built backend infrastructure for platforms like travel booking, enterprise SSO across 20+ applications, multi-tenant hotel management SaaS, and fintech wallet systems. I’m at my best when I can take a product feature from design through deployment, keep it secure, and continuously optimize it in production.
