What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and ship meaningful SaaS and AI products, contribute to open source, and solve complex engineering problems across Laravel, AI integrations, automation, and self-hosted infrastructure.

I'm building OnBordly from an empty repository into a multi-tenant HRM SaaS, shipping employee management, leave, attendance, onboarding, RBAC, audit logging, analytics, subscription billing, and feature gating.

At WPDeveloper, I built Laravel backends and Vue.js frontends for easy.jobs, an AI-powered, GDPR-compliant recruitment SaaS serving 8,000+ organizations. I delivered AI Apply, candidate scoring, resume parsing, API integrations, reusable Laravel packages, and tests that improved production reliability.

I've contributed 37 merged pull requests to laravel/framework and 37 to laravel/ai, Laravel's official AI SDK. My work includes provider gateways and failover support across 13 LLM providers, conversation persistence fixes, usage accounting, and feature test suites for AI capabilities.

I also design and operate self-hosted AI agents and supporting infrastructure, turning GitHub issues into fixing pull requests and delivering real-time Slack briefings. Across production and open-source codebases, I've merged 412 pull requests and published Laravel and npm packages.
