What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and scale full-stack Laravel products end to end—especially performance-critical integrations and multi-tenant SaaS—where I can solve infrastructure challenges, ship reliable features, and collaborate across backend, frontend, and deployment.

I’m a full-stack developer with 15+ years of experience building and scaling e-commerce, SaaS, and API-driven platforms. I bring deep expertise in PHP/Laravel and I ship across the full stack—from database to UI.

I’m especially drawn to hard infrastructure problems. I’ve implemented real-time, webhook-driven integrations and event-driven pipelines that feed analytics, and I’ve built distributed low-latency systems on EC2, using Redis caching and time-series storage with InfluxDB to keep performance tight.

I also build business-critical products like white-label SaaS. I’ve designed multi-tenant/white-label architecture (including a row-level 3-level hierarchy enforced via Laravel query scoping and foreign keys), and I’ve integrated payments and commerce ecosystems such as Stripe (Laravel Cashier), Paddle, and PayPal, plus domain and provisioning workflows via OpenSRS.

In my current work, I build and maintain Laravel and WordPress solutions, including WordPress REST APIs for companion apps, legacy Symfony-to-Laravel migrations, and modern frontends with React/TypeScript and Next.js. I like pairing solid engineering with practical delivery—while staying curious and self-taught, like exploring PostgreSQL and Terraform.
