What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven PHP Developer with 4+ years of experience designing and delivering scalable web applications. I lead backend development of enterprise applications with Laravel and MySQL, building RESTful APIs consumed by frontend and mobile clients, while staying focused on strong problem-solving and clean, maintainable code.
Since 2022, I’ve worked across the stack—integrating UI components with jQuery and Ajax, optimizing SQL queries to cut page load time by ~30%, and mentoring junior developers through code reviews. I also accelerate delivery with AI-assisted development tools like ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, and DeepSeek, while managing deployments on Ubuntu Linux and DigitalOcean.
