What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend-focused role where I can build scalable PHP/Laravel services using clean architecture, microservices, and RESTful APIs—while owning performance, CI/CD, Docker deployments, and reliable Linux/Nginx operations.

I’m a backend-focused software engineer specializing in PHP/Laravel, designing scalable systems with clean architecture and RESTful APIs. Over 6+ years, I’ve shipped microservices-based solutions, improved reliability with asynchronous job processing and real-time communication, and optimized performance across web and database layers.

In recent roles, I architected microservices to reduce deployment errors by 30% and improved response times by 25% by optimizing NGINX/Apache and managing Linux servers. I’ve also containerized applications with Docker, maintained CI/CD pipelines to cut deployment time by 40%, and optimized MySQL query performance by 20% while supporting production-scale services.
