About

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience building scalable backend systems using PHP, Laravel, and the MERN stack. I specialize in RESTful API development, secure payment gateway integration (Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.Net), database optimization (MySQL, MongoDB, Redis), and CI/CD deployment pipelines.

I’ve led teams that reduced ETL pipeline runtimes and scaled platforms to handle 10x data volume. I’ve worked across freight analytics, real estate SaaS, and e-commerce, with a growing focus on AI-driven backend automation.
