What I'm looking for

I want senior engineering roles focused on building scalable web platforms, modernizing architectures, and improving DevOps workflows while mentoring teams.

Hands-on Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 8+ years delivering outcomes in fast-paced, product-driven environments. Core stack aligns directly with modern Laravel/PHP backends, Vue.js 3 frontends, Node.js/TypeScript serverless functions, and AWS infrastructure (RDS, DynamoDB, Lambda). Built and scaled marketplace and e-commerce platforms, recruitment infrastructure, and SaaS products — always taking end-to-end ownership from architecture to deployment. Proven remote operator: 2+ years of async cross-timezone collaboration with overseas teams. Comfortable leading projects with internal and external stakeholders, rolling up sleeves on the details, and communicating technical decisions clearly to non-technical audiences.
