What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build scalable PHP/Laravel backend systems, deliver well-designed REST APIs, and own performance improvements end to end. I value clean architecture, strong testing, and practical CI/CD that ships reliably.

I’m a software engineer with over 10 years of experience designing and building scalable, high-performance web applications. I specialize in robust backend systems with clean, reusable code—especially PHP (Laravel), RESTful API design, and cloud-native architectures—while keeping user experience and performance at the center of delivery.

In my recent roles, I’ve led API and backend service development, improved MySQL query performance, and deployed scalable solutions using AWS (Lambda, EC2, S3). I actively champion maintainable architecture (SOLID, clean architecture, microservices), integrate automated testing (PHPUnit, Behat, Jest), and streamline releases through CI/CD with tools like Jenkins and GitHub Actions.
