What I'm looking for

I seek senior full-stack or technical lead roles in collaborative, agile teams where I can architect scalable systems, mentor developers, and deliver high-impact, secure production software.

I am a results-driven Senior Full Stack Developer and Technical Lead with 9+ years building scalable, high-performance applications for startups and global enterprises. I have architected systems handling millions of transactions, optimized performance by up to 90%, and delivered solutions for clients including Mastercard, Apple, and Ticketek.

I specialize in Laravel, Symfony, NestJS, React/Next.js, Supabase and cloud platforms like AWS and Firebase, and I lead cross-functional teams to ship robust production systems. I mentor developers, introduce best practices, and focus on clean, maintainable code that reduces operational costs and accelerates delivery.
