I modernize SaaS platforms and recruitment systems with Laravel, APIs, React, and scalable backend architecture.
What I'm looking for
I've modernized Vendor Management and Applicant Tracking Systems at SimplifyVMS, moving legacy Yii1 functionality into maintainable Laravel services and versioned REST APIs. I improved database performance and built safe import, migration, and backfill processes for complex production data.
At Vaioni Group, I built frontend and backend capabilities for ISP onboarding and digital service platforms, including provider-data normalization, pricing-engine migrations, and email-template processing workflows. At EventBuizz, I replaced AJAX polling with real-time Laravel Broadcasting, WebSockets, and React for an event management platform.
I've led teams and modernized CRM, web, and mobile products with Laravel, React, AWS, Git, CI/CD, and Agile practices. I also build payment and AI-enabled workflows, and I'm open to principal engineering, technical leadership, senior backend, and senior full-stack opportunities.
