What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a dynamic environment where I can combine technical leadership with hands-on development—building secure, high-performance systems, strengthening testing and CI/CD, and delivering reliably through sprint planning and risk management.

I’m an experienced software engineer with a strong background in Laravel, Vue.js, and full-stack development, with eight years of building, migrating, and optimizing large-scale applications for clients across healthcare, communications, and enterprise software. I focus on architecting secure systems, improving reliability and performance, and delivering outcomes through disciplined engineering practices.

At Upland Software, I’ve architected and shipped Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA / TOTP) for the Upland Credential Manager (UCM), securing enterprise credential workflows across multiple platforms and device types. I led the end-to-end migration of Upland Analytics (UA) from legacy Zend Framework to Laravel 10, implemented Redis-backed caching and Laravel queue workers to reduce load times, and closed zero-coverage gaps with PHPUnit test suites. I’ve also collaborated across GCC delivery centres to integrate authentication with third-party infrastructure and helped resolve production issues such as memory exhaustion in the widget processing pipeline.

Previously as a Technical Lead at ITCAN Technology and Digital Marketing, I led a team of 5–8 developers and improved productivity and on-time delivery using structured sprint planning and task delegation. I established risk management protocols, reduced vulnerabilities by 80% through code reviews and security audits, and supported career growth through 1:1 frameworks—improving retention and satisfaction. Earlier, I delivered migrations and introduced TDD and SOLID principles, increasing performance, reducing bugs, and lifting user adoption.
