What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior backend role where I can design robust PHP/Laravel APIs and microservices, own architecture and observability, and build reliable fintech/eCommerce systems with modern DevOps practices.

I’m a Senior Backend Developer with 8+ years of experience specializing in PHP and Laravel. I focus on API design, microservices architecture, and building high-reliability systems for demanding fintech and eCommerce environments.

At Future Open Technology Group, I refactored microservices for production reliability—consolidating SMS provider implementations into a factory-based class with backward compatibility and resolving Elasticsearch logging errors with a fallback logger. I also standardized broker integrations into consistent API contracts and built an internal Laravel package to construct Elasticsearch queries modeled after Laravel’s query builder.

I’ve delivered end-to-end workflows that unblock teams: integrating multiple analytics platforms into a unified pipeline, engineering a banking API sandbox for integration testing, and building a role-based corporate admin panel using FilamentPHP. I also integrated HUMO and UzCARD payment gateways and supported high-volume payment transactions across the platform.

Earlier, at Fountainheadme.com (Upstack.co), I built responsive admin experiences with FilamentPHP v3 and Livewire, improved observability with Laravel Telescope and Spatie packages, and automated certificate approvals using Browsershot/Puppeteer. My backend foundation includes designing RESTful APIs, implementing OAuth2 authentication with Laravel Passport, and integrating Payme/Click payments, Firebase Cloud Messaging, and real-time communication with Redis and Socket.io.
