I'm a Backend Engineer and AI Solutions Developer with 9+ years of experience building enterprise applications for banking and global FMCG companies. I specialize in PHP, Laravel, Drupal, API integrations, backend architecture, CI/CD pipelines, queue processing, and cloud-based deployments. Throughout my career, I have worked on business-critical systems that require reliability, scalability, and seamless integration between multiple services. My experience includes developing REST APIs, designing database-driven applications, optimizing deployment pipelines, mentoring junior developers, and troubleshooting complex production issues. I have also worked extensively with asynchronous systems, scheduled jobs, and integration platforms. Recently, I have been expanding into AI-powered solutions and am currently building CodeGuard AI, a platform that combines GitHub workflows, webhook-driven automation, LLM orchestration, and context-aware code analysis to help engineering teams improve software quality. My core stack includes PHP, Laravel, Drupal, Node.js, JavaScript, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, GitHub Actions, Python, FastAPI, and AI integration technologies. I am particularly interested in backend engineering, AI integration, developer tools, automation, and enterprise software solutions.
