What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Senior back-end/software role where I can build and own architecture for SaaS products, improve CI/CD and deployments, and mentor teams. I want a collaborative culture that values communication, empathy, and responsibility.

Senior PHP Developer and Solution Architect with 13+ years of experience designing and building scalable web applications and SaaS platforms. My core expertise is in PHP and Laravel, with a strong focus on multi-tenant architectures, CRM/ERP systems, and high-performance backend solutions powered by PostgreSQL.

I currently lead development teams and architect complex systems for international clients, helping businesses automate processes and scale their operations through technology. I have hands-on experience across the full product lifecycle — from system design and infrastructure setup (Docker, cloud, CI/CD) to implementation, optimization, and long-term maintenance.

As the founder of an IT company, I’ve worked closely with both startups and enterprise clients, delivering solutions in e-commerce, automation systems, and custom business platforms. I’m particularly interested in building SaaS products, improving system architecture, and solving real-world business problems with clean, maintainable code.

I also have experience mentoring developers and teaching web programming, which helps me build stronger teams and maintain high engineering standards.

Currently, I’m open to remote opportunities where I can contribute as a senior engineer or architect, especially in teams building scalable, impactful products.
