What I'm looking for

I seek a role building scalable web applications where I can own backend and frontend work, integrate payments and real-time systems, collaborate cross-functionally, and grow into technical leadership.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience building web applications using Laravel, Next.js, Vue.js, Angular, and React. I specialize in backend API development, payment gateway integrations, real-time event handling with Redis, and database management with MySQL and MongoDB.

I have delivered e-commerce-focused projects including Shopify apps and integrations that improved conversions and average order value, implemented Stripe and Shopify Payments, and optimized backend APIs to improve scalability and response times. I collaborate closely with product and design teams, conduct unit testing and code reviews, and continuously adopt new technologies to improve development processes.

I bring strong problem-solving skills, attention to code quality, and a track record of shipping features that boost customer engagement and system reliability. I am motivated to build robust, maintainable systems that meet business goals and scale with user growth.
