What I'm looking for

I seek a Laravel/backend role where I can work on end-to-end web applications, collaborate with product teams, and grow technical skills through challenging projects and client-facing responsibilities.

I am a motivated Computer Science student and Laravel developer with hands-on experience building dynamic web applications, RESTful APIs, and admin dashboards. I have delivered end-to-end projects, handled deployments on shared hosting/cPanel, and worked directly with clients to gather requirements and deliver custom modules.

My technical toolkit includes PHP, Laravel 8+, JavaScript, MySQL and modern development tools like Git and VS Code; notable projects include a cloud-mining simulation platform, an ERP/POS system, and an ad analytics platform. I bring a problem-solving mindset, attention to UX, and a track record of shipping production-ready features.
