What I'm looking for

I seek a technical leadership role where I can design backend systems, lead a small engineering team, work in Agile, and build scalable SaaS/API products.

I am a senior backend developer and team lead with deep expertise in PHP/Laravel, building scalable APIs and cloud-based SaaS applications. I design databases, develop backend code, and integrate third-party APIs to deliver production-ready systems.

I have led teams and managed task delivery while personally delivering critical modules across multiple companies, including launching products ahead of schedule and receiving recognition for contributions. I have experience working as the sole developer on complex cloud projects and as a leader coordinating multi-person teams.

I work in Agile/Scrum environments using tools like Jira, Git, CI/CD and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP). I focus on reliable engineering, clear communication, and delivering business-focused solutions.
