What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end product development—web, mobile, and AI-assisted workflows—building scalable, secure systems with strong SEO/performance and a team that values mentorship and high engineering standards.

I’m a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 5+ years of experience in PHP/Laravel and Node.js, focused on building scalable web applications and high-performance e-commerce solutions. I lead end-to-end development, optimize system performance, and mentor teams, with a strong emphasis on secure, reliable delivery and SEO-driven outcomes.

Across web and mobile, I’ve built SEO-optimized commerce platforms using Laravel, Filament, React, and Next.js (including server-side rendering), and delivered cross-platform mobile apps using React Native with Expo. I also bring an AI-specialist mindset—using Claude AI to design robust architectures while performing my own security review and hardening—along with hands-on experience in real-time applications, APIs, and cloud/deployment.
