What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable web applications using Laravel and modern front-end frameworks, emphasizing TDD, clean architecture, collaboration, and opportunities to optimize performance and grow technically.

I am a versatile full-stack PHP developer with hands-on experience delivering high-performance web applications using Laravel, Vue.js, and MySQL. I prioritize clean architecture, test-driven development, and optimized database design to build reliable, maintainable systems.

I have improved usability with responsive front-end work using Bootstrap and Tailwind, implemented secure RBAC with Spatie Permissions, and integrated RESTful APIs for robust data flow. I collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and focus on code quality, performance optimization, and delivering tailored software solutions on time.
