What I'm looking for

I seek backend roles focused on PHP/Laravel where I can build secure, scalable systems, collaborate cross-functionally, and deliver measurable performance and UX improvements.

I am a backend developer with deep expertise in PHP and Laravel, focused on building secure, high-performance web applications and RESTful APIs that support global content delivery.

At 5centsCDN I boosted team productivity by 20% through efficient code architecture and cross-functional collaboration, reduced frontend bug reports by 15%, and delivered performance improvements that drove 30% higher user satisfaction.

I partner closely with frontend, product, and DevOps teams to deliver reliable, scalable solutions, prioritize clean code and security, and integrate AI and automation to improve customer experience and operational efficiency.
