Full-Stack (Laravel + JS) | 3+ years | Remote
Syrian Arab RepublicWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Full-Stack Developer (Laravel + JS) with 3+ years building fast, reliable web apps in logistics, healthcare, and content platforms. I focus on clean architecture, measurable performance wins, and tight collaboration with product and frontend teams.
At Mermez (Back-end Developer), I design and maintain REST APIs in Laravel/MySQL, tune schemas and queries, and build integrations for responsive UIs. Recent impact: optimized database structures and caching to cut 95th-percentile response time by ~25%; introduced CI with automated tests that lifted coverage past 50% and reduced regressions; streamlined API contracts that lowered page load by ~0.9s on key flows.
As a Freelance Full-Stack Dev & Tutor, I’ve delivered production modules (auth, reporting, notifications, i18n) and mentored 100+ students in web programming and AI. I enjoy turning fuzzy requirements into maintainable, well-tested code.
Interests: performance engineering, developer experience (DX), data-driven features, and practical AI integrations (Python/Flask, Hugging Face) that improve real user outcomes.
Core stack: PHP 8.x, Laravel 9–12, MySQL (indexes/EXPLAIN/profiling), RESTful APIs, Blade, Bootstrap/Tailwind, vanilla JS (ES6+), Git/GitHub, GitHub Actions, Docker (basics), Nginx, Redis/queues, PHPUnit/Pest.
Strengths: ownership mindset, clear communication (Arabic/English), mentoring, and steady delivery.
Seeking: remote Backend/Laravel or Full-Stack roles where I can own APIs, raise performance, and ship user-visible improvements.
