Senior backend PHP engineer building scalable Laravel systems and APIs.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build scalable backend systems with PHP/Laravel—APIs, real-time features, and reliable integrations. I want to own production deployments end-to-end, optimize performance with caching/queues, and ship secure OAuth2/payment/shipping workflows.

I’m a Senior Backend PHP Engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable backend systems using PHP and Laravel. I’ve worked across Multi-Tenant SaaS, Multi-Vendor Marketplaces, Ride-Hailing platforms, booking systems, and production REST/GraphQL APIs, with a strong focus on reliability, performance, and clean system design.

In recent roles, I delivered real-time experiences with WebSockets (Pusher, Socket.IO) and Laravel Octane (Swoole), and strengthened payment/shipping integrations, OAuth2, webhooks, caching, and queue-based processing. At FunTok, I built multi-vendor marketplace capabilities, POS and delivery management with live order tracking, integrated shipping and payment gateways, and optimized APIs using Redis and queues to support scalable backend services.
