What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic work environment that fosters innovation and allows me to leverage my backend development skills while contributing to impactful projects.

I am a Senior Backend Developer with extensive experience in building robust applications using PHP frameworks like Laravel and CodeIgniter. Currently, I am working at Wunderman Thompson, where I contribute to a large-scale application for Michelin, serving over 10,000 users daily. My focus is on creating efficient, scalable, and reusable backend services that enhance user experience and operational efficiency.

Previously, I served as a Sr. Software Engineer at America International Express, where I developed REST APIs for a leading shipping platform, processing over 1,000 shipping orders daily. My journey began as a Software Developer at various firms, where I honed my skills in PHP, database optimization, and frontend technologies like React and Vue.js. I take pride in delivering high-quality code with minimal bugs through rigorous unit testing and agile methodologies.
