What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend role where I can build scalable PHP/Laravel REST APIs, optimize database performance, and ensure secure, asynchronous architecture. I want an Agile team that values code quality, mentorship, and room to expand into AI-enabled automation.

I’m a senior backend developer with 7+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance web applications and RESTful APIs using PHP and Laravel. I focus on backend architecture that’s reliable, maintainable, and built for real business needs.

I bring strong expertise in MySQL query optimization and secure backend development, including authentication with OAuth2 and JWT. I also implement asynchronous processing using AWS SQS and RabbitMQ to keep systems responsive and efficient under load.

Recently, I integrated AI-powered solutions using OpenAI APIs, building intelligent chatbots and automation features that handle dynamic user queries. In Agile environments, I lead technical decisions, mentor developers, and conduct code reviews to raise code quality and delivery confidence.

Across my roles, I’ve designed and delivered backend modules and integrations—like integrating legacy Core PHP systems with Laravel-based APIs, improving API response time through query/indexing strategies, and building partner/workflow platforms with clean MVC/OOP practices.
