What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build scalable RESTful APIs and full-stack products with Laravel/React and cloud-native AWS, lead delivery with CI/CD and TDD, and keep strong security and code-quality standards while mentoring teams.

I’m a Senior Full-Stack PHP/Laravel Developer with 9+ years of progressive experience designing, building, and deploying scalable, high-performance web applications, RESTful APIs, and enterprise ERP/CRM systems. I translate business requirements into robust technical solutions, with a strong focus on MVC architecture, OOP, code quality, and security standards.

In my current role, I architect and deliver RESTful APIs and backend services using Laravel, Node.js, and Express.js, while building responsive interfaces with React.js and Laravel Blade. I containerize development environments with Docker, optimize relational database performance (including indexing/query improvements), integrate complex third-party APIs, and manage AWS EC2 infrastructure for scalability and reliability. I also lead cross-functional development, mentor junior engineers, and drive Agile/Scrum delivery with CI/CD pipelines and test-driven development (TDD).
