What I'm looking for

I want to build and maintain scalable, high-performance web applications with strong PHP/Laravel and WordPress integration, clean code, and reliable API-driven systems. I’m at my best in Agile teams where collaboration, documentation, and continuous improvement matter.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 9+ years designing, developing, and maintaining scalable web applications and enterprise solutions. I specialize in PHP technologies including Laravel, Yii2, CodeIgniter, and WordPress, with a strong focus on custom development and API integrations.

In my current roles (OMAX TECH and QAVI TECHNOLOGIES), I design and maintain production-ready systems, write clean and maintainable code, and handle system maintenance, troubleshooting, upgrades, and performance optimization. I also create and maintain technical documentation and collaborate closely with UI/UX to deliver responsive, user-friendly web applications.

I bring broad technical depth across frontend and backend: Vue.js and Angular for interfaces, and database design and management using MySQL, MSSQL, and MongoDB. I’ve integrated third-party APIs and backend services to ensure reliable data flow, while staying current with emerging technologies and industry trends.

I care about engineering quality and operational readiness, including Agile development, Docker-based deployments, and version control with Git/GitLab/Bitbucket. I’ve also built and optimized enterprise search solutions using Elasticsearch, Solr, Sphinx Search, and Manticore Search—delivering high-quality outcomes that drive business value.
