I’m Ali Tahmasebi, a senior full-stack developer with 15+ years of professional experience, including 14+ years working with PHP and 8+ years building production systems with Laravel. I’ve developed and modernized REST APIs and database-driven applications, delivered production debugging and refactoring, and worked on projects that process hundreds of thousands of transactions while serving thousands of users.
I also enjoy bridging backend and frontend collaboration: I’ve worked with Vue.js in real products, coordinated API contracts with frontend developers, and introduced performance improvements such as search optimization (Meilisearch) and faster system responsiveness. In addition, I’ve led a small team as an IT Specialist/Team Lead, contributing to system design, onboarding, and code reviews, and I’m comfortable with modern tooling like Docker and hands-on Kubernetes training.
