What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Full‑Stack Software Engineer with 5+ years building and scaling production‑grade systems across FinTech, TravelTech, HealthTech, E‑commerce, and EdTech.
I design and implement clean, maintainable backend and frontend features using Laravel, Node/NestJS, Vue.js, React and Next.js, with a strong focus on performance and scalable architecture.
I have led end‑to‑end delivery on products used internationally, modernized legacy systems (including Laravel 5→10), and improved performance and engagement metrics through targeted optimizations.
I'm passionate about cloud‑native development, DevOps practices (Docker, Azure DevOps CI/CD), testing, and using technology to solve real‑world problems while maintaining strong security and code quality standards.
