What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can combine Koha expertise and Laravel development to deliver integrated library systems, collaborate with librarians, and improve user-focused workflows in a supportive, growth-oriented team.

I am a library systems specialist with deep expertise in Koha ILS and Laravel development, combining years of hands-on support for library installations with full-stack web development to build practical solutions librarians want to use.

I have developed Laravel-based library management modules integrated with Koha, built secure authentication and role-based access, designed RESTful APIs, and provided extensive Koha technical support and integrations across multiple libraries.

My work has led to improved system usability, reduced staff workload through automation, and enhanced digital access to resources via projects like integrated library portals, e-lending platforms, and a hospital management system that prioritized secure role permissions and data handling.
