About Me

I am a senior product-focused engineer with more than 8 years of experience building and operating production web platforms.

My strongest background is in PHP and Laravel, and I have worked extensively with MySQL, Docker, Livewire, JavaScript, and Next.js. I enjoy building reliable SaaS products that solve real business problems and can scale with growing user bases.

I have experience across the full delivery lifecycle, from architecture and implementation to deployment, monitoring, maintenance, and iteration. I am comfortable owning features end to end and making practical technical decisions that support product goals.

A large part of my work has involved revenue-critical product development, including fundraising and events modules, reporting systems, payment integrations, and third-party API work. I also have hands-on experience with AI-powered product features, provider abstraction, fallback handling, and database-driven workflows.

I value clean engineering practices, code review, mentoring, and security-minded development. I have worked in collaborative teams, supported junior developers, and contributed to production operations in fast-moving SaaS environments.

I am open to remote employment and contract work across the EU, and I am especially interested in backend and product engineering roles where I can contribute to platform growth and technical quality.
