PHP/Laravel engineer at Trovestack Technologies building B2B SaaS and flight booking integrations.

Nigeria

Message

At Trovestack Technologies, I design and maintain the PHP/Laravel backend of a B2B SaaS platform, including versioned REST APIs and MySQL schema tuning. I also built flight search and booking integrations with Amadeus, Sabre, and IRIX behind a normalised response contract.

At Coderigi, I led backend development of Rigitix, a production event-ticketing platform, and improved API response times by 25% through MySQL query and index optimisation. I also architected the Laravel backend for Pharste, a live cross-border payments platform with Paga and Apaylo payment rails, multi-currency wallets, and an append-only transaction ledger.
