What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote roles where I can build scalable web products, optimize performance, mentor teams, and work with modern stacks (Laravel/React/Node) while contributing to product and infrastructure strategy.

I am a Full Stack Developer with over a decade of professional experience building web and mobile solutions, from custom WordPress plugins and Magento marketplaces to microservices and native mobile apps. I’ve worked remotely with international clients and led engineering as a CTO and co‑founder.

My technical focus spans PHP (Laravel), Node.js, modern frontend frameworks (React, Next/Nuxt, Vue), and DevOps deployments on AWS, DigitalOcean and Netlify; I’ve also integrated OpenAI APIs and built Shopify apps using Laravel and React (Polaris). Notable achievements include reducing WordPress+Elementor load times by up to 30%, mentoring teams to improve efficiency by 20%, and architecting scalable microservices for high‑traffic platforms.

I bring a pragmatic, performance‑driven approach to product development, combining backend architecture, frontend UX and infrastructure management to deliver reliable, high‑performing web experiences.
