I'm looking for Senior Backend Engineer, Technical Lead, or Engineering Manager opportunities where I can leverage my 8+ years of experience in Node.js, PHP, REST APIs, microservices, cloud infrastructure, and Agile team leadership. I prefer remote-first environments and enjoy building scalable systems while mentoring developers and driving project delivery.

Senior Backend Engineer building REST APIs and microservices for healthcare uptime.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Backend Engineer with 9+ years building production-grade REST APIs, microservices, and distributed systems using Node.js, PHP (Laravel), and relational/non-relational databases.
Currently, I serve as Assistant Project Manager and Scrum Lead, helping a 6-engineer team deliver a HIPAA-compliant EMR platform at 99.9% uptime for 4+ years. I led a structured 2-week release cadence, reduced sprint spillover by 35%, and kept security incidents at zero through versioned, well-documented API design with JWT/OAuth 2.0 and rate limiting.
I focus on measurable engineering outcomes: I drove automated test coverage from 20% to 75% with Mocha and PHPUnit, improving QA cycle time and reducing regression failures. I also streamlined deployments using CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions + Docker), optimized 10+ high-traffic MySQL queries, and cut average API response time by ~35%.
Earlier in my career, I built real-time systems (PHP/Laravel + JavaScript WebSockets) supporting 50+ concurrent multi-user sessions, and delivered HR/Operations platforms with PHP/CakePHP 3 and MySQL for 200–500 users. I also integrated Stripe and PayPal with idempotency handling and webhook validation, and built Laravel REST backends and Angular frontends—always partnering closely with teams to ship reliably, even across remote-first, cross-timezone environments.
