Senior SaaS Engineer & Technical Lead

I work as a Senior Software Engineer on long-term SaaS client engagements, translating business requirements into technical solutions and production software. My responsibilities include architecture, legacy modernization, backend and frontend development, API design, deployment, and technical ownership.

For KlikFX, I modernized an inherited Yii2 and WordPress environment by designing and implementing a Laravel CRUD and resource architecture to replace an increasingly difficult-to-maintain WordPress administrative workflow. I created reusable model and resource definitions and introduced Docker and Docker Compose for local development and production deployment.

For StanNaDan, I am the main developer on a three-person team building a short-term rental platform. I own architecture and technology decisions, develop Laravel APIs and Next.js interfaces, use Meilisearch and Docker-based infrastructure, conduct code reviews, mentor a junior developer, and collaborate with the client on delivery priorities.

I conceived, designed, architected, and implemented License Bridge, my own SaaS licensing and payments platform for WordPress plugin and theme developers. The product beta was completed in October 2022.

I built the Laravel and MongoDB backend together with a React and Next.js frontend. I implemented licensing workflows, payment flows, APIs, WordPress SDK integration, deployment, and ongoing product development.

I retain ownership of the product's technical architecture, implementation, infrastructure, deployment, and continued maintenance.

I worked remotely with a US client for approximately seven years on production SaaS products, including Deadline Funnel and Survey Funnel. I developed Laravel/PHP backend APIs and React/Next.js frontend functionality.

During part of the engagement, I led a smaller group of developers. I also built Docker images for development and production and implemented automated testing for APIs and frontend behavior using PHPUnit, React Testing Library, and Cypress.

I worked on social platform architecture and PHP development. My work included using MongoDB and Redis for application data and caching.

I also worked with AWS infrastructure, including EC2 and S3 services.

I developed PHP software for distance-learning systems, news publishing products, and a multilingual content management system.

My work involved building and maintaining web application functionality for education and publishing use cases.

I developed WordPress themes and plugins using PHP.

I contributed to custom WordPress functionality and web solutions for client projects.

I developed business information and quality management systems using Delphi.

My work focused on application development for business-oriented software solutions.
