What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, agile team where I can lead backend and API development, mentor engineers, and drive scalable, cloud-native solutions with strong CI/CD and code-quality practices.

I am a Lead Software Engineer with extensive experience designing and enhancing software architectures using PHP and the Laravel framework, cloud services (AWS), and containerization (Docker). I drive test-driven development, CI/CD practices, and API-first design while mentoring teams and collaborating across stakeholders to deliver customer-focused solutions.

My background includes building scalable web applications, optimizing performance with monitoring tools, integrating third-party services and devices, and creating user-friendly interfaces with Vue.js and Bootstrap. I thrive in agile environments, contribute to architecture and documentation, and champion code quality through reviews and best practices.
