What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build scalable full-stack, API-driven products with strong DevOps habits—clean database design, secure auth/RBAC, and reliable cloud deployments. I want a team that values maintainability and fast iteration.

I’m a Software Engineer and Full-Stack Web Developer with production experience building scalable web applications, RESTful APIs, and data-driven systems. I bring a practical full-stack mindset—pairing JavaScript/TypeScript and React/Next.js with PHP/Laravel and strong database design in PostgreSQL/MySQL.

In my DILG internship, I designed system architecture for a full-stack Laravel job application portal, including database schema, API structure, authentication flow, and role-based access control (RBAC). I also configured and deployed the portal on Hostinger, implementing MySQL schemas, RESTful APIs, and responsive UI components.

For my thesis project, I built and deployed a multi-role internship tracking system on AWS EC2 using Elastic IP, Docker Compose, Nginx reverse proxy, and Cloudflare CDN. I managed EC2 instance sizing, SSL termination, Nginx routing, and PostgreSQL schema design with Prisma ORM.

I enjoy owning the full delivery pipeline—from local development to cloud deployments—across Vercel, Netlify, Render, Hostinger VPS, and AWS. With a strong foundation in Linux system administration and TCP/IP networking, I aim to ship reliable systems that are secure, maintainable, and ready for real users.
