What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a collaborative team where I can lead architecture and performance improvements, modernize frontends with React/Next.js, and ship reliable cloud-native systems with strong SDLC rigor.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 11+ years in the industry, focused on building scalable, performance-driven applications. I bring deep expertise in JavaScript and PHP, with a strong emphasis on React, Next.js, and Symfony/Laravel, and I’ve applied cloud-native approaches on AWS to support core business operations.

In my most recent role, I helped end-monolith with Doctrine ORM to strengthen stability and scalability, delivered pixel-perfect, responsive UIs using Next.js and Tailwind CSS, and enforced standardized SDLC practices with Jira, PR reviews, QA workflows, and detailed specs. I also improved responsiveness by deploying RabbitMQ, integrated Stripe/PayPal and digital wallets for flexible payments, and tuned databases using normalization and query tuning—while contributing to product strategy with a data-driven mindset.
