What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build scalable PHP full-stack products end to end, lead development teams, and improve performance and UX through strong architecture, APIs, and best practices.

I’m a dynamic, results-driven PHP Full Stack Developer with 15 years of experience specializing in backend and frontend development, plus extensive leadership experience managing development teams and large-scale projects.

I’ve delivered full software development lifecycle work for dynamic web applications, leveraging Laravel, CodeIgniter, Vue.js, and MySQL to build scalable, efficient solutions and improve performance and user experiences. In one role, I increased system performance by 30% by porting a legacy project to CodeIgniter and optimizing database queries with a modular architecture.

I build product features that move metrics, including A/B testing features using Vue.js and Optimizely to improve the customer journey and conversion rates, along with caching mechanisms to minimize response time. I also develop secure, maintainable systems with strong repository design patterns and data structure improvements.

I’ve led engineering across domains—from a health-grade research platform to tourism booking and insurance systems—covering RESTful APIs, role-based access control, and compliant data protection (GDPR/HIPAA). I’ve also integrated payment gateways (PayPal and Stripe) and improved workflows, including automating image processing to reduce manual intervention by 40%.
