What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and maintain full stack PHP/.NET web applications where I can own end-to-end delivery—requirements through deployment—while partnering across teams, troubleshooting live systems, and writing clear documentation that matches business needs.

I’m a full stack software developer with experience designing, building, and maintaining PHP- and .NET-based web applications across the complete development lifecycle—requirements gathering, design, coding, testing, deployment, and documentation. I’m proficient in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, PHP, and .NET MVC, with working knowledge of Angular, TypeScript, Node.js, and RESTful APIs.

As Founder & Full Stack Developer at KrafteeApps, I owned the full development lifecycle end-to-end for 6 client projects, managing features across evolving requirements. I designed, developed, and maintained PHP-based web applications and databases, troubleshot live defects using root cause analysis, and produced client-facing documentation to support maintainable codebases and shared team knowledge.

In my current Project Coordinator role at Watchtower, I gather and document procedural and system requirements from 100+ stakeholders daily, translating needs into clear, actionable guidance. I also authored process documentation, trained teams on complex workflows, and coordinated operations across 30+ workstations—bringing a disciplined, documentation-driven approach that aligns closely with software design materials and acceptance test documentation.
