What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on leadership role where I can drive backend and full-stack delivery, implement best practices, improve reliability through automation/testing, mentor engineers, and contribute to product growth in a collaborative environment.

I am a senior full-stack developer specializing in Laravel, JavaScript and Vue.js with a Software Engineering degree from Lancaster University and over six years of professional experience. I build and stabilize backend systems, lead engineering teams, and drive projects from stalled to delivered.

As a technical lead I established backend departments, implemented best practices, hired and mentored engineers, and managed cloud infrastructure across AWS, Google, Linode and DigitalOcean. I have delivered on-time releases, introduced automation and testing (including Playwright), and expanded product functionality that directly increased customer acquisition.

I communicate effectively with clients and cross-functional teams, have experience in startups and enterprise settings, and maintain a strong focus on product reliability and scalable architecture. I am motivated to join teams where I can lead technical efforts, improve delivery processes, and contribute hands-on to product growth.
