What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a remote-first role where I can lead technical direction, mentor teams, and build scalable Laravel-based systems with strong observability and automation.

I'm a results-driven Senior Software Engineer with 15 years building scalable, secure, high-performance web applications, primarily using Laravel and modern frontend tools.

I design and implement end-to-end solutions—ERPs, billing, CRM, ticketing and field service platforms—reducing manual effort from days to hours and improving operational efficiency across departments.

I lead technical evolution, mentor junior developers, and standardize architectures, driving measurable improvements like centralized databases, API integrations, and performance refactors.

I thrive in remote-first, fast-paced environments, focusing on observability, infrastructure management with Forge, and pragmatic adoption of tools like Livewire, Alpine.js, Tailwind, queues and cloud platforms.
