What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote-first roles with strong technical teams where architecture matters—building scalable PHP/Laravel backends, optimizing performance and data pipelines, and delivering reliable integrations with measurable impact.

I’m a senior PHP/Laravel backend developer with 10+ years of experience in backend-heavy systems across high-throughput e-commerce platforms, large-scale data warehouses, and complex internal tooling in ecommerce and iGaming.

I’ve built and operated backends processing millions of jobs and 60–100k orders per day, designed multi-country RMA workflows across 24+ countries and 20+ courier integrations, and delivered large, regulated, multi-tenant Laravel refactors focused on performance, uptime, and compliance.

I care about architecture that holds under load—migrations, queue/job processing at scale, API integrations, and TB/month data pipelines (Redshift/BigQuery). I also bring AI into production, building an AI sales-advisory system using Claude API + RAG over a 60,000+ SKU catalog, and I’m looking for remote-first roles with strong technical teams where architecture matters.
