What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own backend and full-feature delivery, collaborate on architecture, and keep production systems reliable—especially with real-time features, APIs, and modern web development.

I’m a Software Engineer with strong hands-on C++ experience and professional experience in web application development. I’ve built and owned production modules from requirements and design through implementation and maintenance.

My background spans PHP backend services and REST APIs, plus a React-based frontend with supporting JavaScript logic. I’ve worked across database design and real-time systems, including WebSocket-based functionality and authentication/authorization with JWT and role-based access.

I’m comfortable working mostly independently on production projects, and I also collaborate on technical and architectural decisions. I’ve supported deployments and release preparation, and I regularly investigate and resolve live production issues with minimal downtime.
