What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth in a dynamic environment.

I am a self-taught, results-oriented Senior PHP/Laravel Developer with over 6 years of experience in building secure, high-performance web applications. My expertise lies in Laravel, Livewire, Vue.js, React.js, API integrations, and CyberSecurity. I have a proven track record of reducing deployment time by 50% through CI/CD automation and enhancing system security through penetration testing.

In my current role as Technology Head at Mobihits, I architected and developed an internal system that supports over 10,000 daily customer visits and processes 500,000+ monthly transactions with 99.6% uptime. I have successfully built and optimized RESTful APIs, improved data exchange efficiency by 75%, and mentored junior developers through 100+ code reviews and training sessions. My commitment to delivering scalable and efficient solutions has consistently driven project success and team growth.
