What I'm looking for

I'm looking for full-time remote, freelance, or contract opportunities globally where I can build reliable Laravel systems, RESTful APIs, and cross-platform mobile solutions while contributing to scalable products and mentoring developers.

I've built scalable Laravel backend systems at Layout International for high-traffic platforms serving 50,000+ monthly active users. I reduced average API response time by 35% and cut critical report generation from eight seconds to under two seconds through MySQL redesign, indexing, caching, and query optimization.

Across Future Destination, Lexyom Inc., and Syscom Technologies, I've delivered travel booking, workflow automation, CMS, payment, document-management, and recruitment platforms. My work includes RESTful APIs for web and mobile clients, third-party integrations, and maintainable systems shaped from complex stakeholder requirements.

I've mentored developers, led code reviews, and collaborated with product, frontend, and QA teams in agile delivery cycles.

I also use Claude Code and AI-assisted development to independently deliver full-stack and cross-platform React Native mobile solutions efficiently.
