About

Professional summary

I am a senior full-stack engineer with more than 10 years of experience building and shipping production web software. My strongest areas are PHP, Laravel, Symfony, JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, React, Vue, and relational and document databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB).

I take products from an initial specification through architecture, database design, implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing optimization. I am comfortable working across back-end, front-end, APIs, infrastructure, security, and DevOps.

I have led small engineering teams, conducted pull-request reviews, managed deployments, and helped ensure delivery quality. I communicate technical decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

I have worked in freelance, remote, hybrid, and on-site environments with distributed teams. I adapt quickly to different workflows, including Agile, Scrum, Kanban, async collaboration, daily standups, and sprint-based delivery.

I use AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Codex to increase delivery speed while applying engineering judgment to review, validate, and maintain high-quality code. I am especially interested in senior full-stack, back-end-heavy, lead developer, team lead, software architect, and AI engineering roles.

I enjoy solving difficult product and system problems, improving performance, modernizing legacy systems, and designing architectures that remain maintainable as projects grow.
