What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a hands-on engineering role building scalable web platforms with a pragmatic, test-driven team culture and opportunities to own architecture and deployment.

I'm a full-stack web developer with extensive backend experience building high-traffic, subscription and e-commerce platforms using Laravel, PHP and modern frontend frameworks. I co-own and develop a multilingual recipe website while delivering commercial-grade solutions for clients and partners.

My work emphasizes test-driven development, performance and reliability: I’ve implemented search with Meilisearch, caching with Redis and scalable deployments using Docker, Nginx and Linux. I’ve contributed to lead-generation, energy comparison tooling and shoppable recipe platforms integrated with multiple supermarkets and brands.

I value pragmatic engineering, maintainability and clear collaboration — I use Git, CI-friendly practices and tools like PHPUnit, Ray and Sentry to keep systems healthy. I’m comfortable across the stack including Postgres, MySQL, MSSQL, Vue/Nuxt, Blade and server tooling.

Outside work I enjoy renovating an old house, good food and spending time with my family and dog; these interests ground my pragmatic, detail-oriented approach to building products that delight users.
