What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote-friendly team where I can grow as a junior backend developer using PHP and Laravel. I want to build clean, well-structured APIs with strong validation, authentication, and a reliability-first mindset.

I’m an aspiring junior backend developer with a strong passion for PHP-based backend development, clean architecture, and structured problem-solving. I recently completed a Full Stack Web Developer course at WIFI Austria with a backend focus on backend logic, Laravel, SQL databases, authentication, validation, and modern development tools.

I bring reliability, analytical thinking, and a strong learning mindset to a remote-friendly team. My goal is to build dependable backend systems with clear structure—especially where RESTful routing, middleware, and well-validated data matter.

In my projects, I built a fully functional Book Library Laravel application with user accounts, book management, author relationships, favorites, reviews, and authentication. I implemented RESTful routes and resource controllers, used Eloquent relational models (books ↔ authors ↔ reviews), and added Laravel validation, authentication & middleware, along with database migrations/seeders and file handling with dynamic Blade components.

Before development, I worked as an Office Clerk in a municipal district office, where I managed structured administrative data, handled confidential information, and focused on compliance. That experience strengthened my accuracy, structured workflow thinking, and reliability—skills I now apply to building clean, maintainable code and shipping confidently.
