Senior Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience building scalable web applications and high-performance backend systems using PHP 7/8, Laravel, Zend Framework, and Vanilla PHP. I specialize in RESTful APIs, database optimization, legacy system modernization, and scalable architectures for high-traffic environments. Throughout my career, I’ve worked on complex enterprise systems, multi-tenant platforms, and OTT/streaming-related solutions, always focused on performance, stability, and clean code practices. I’m highly adaptable and known for learning new technologies quickly — I transitioned from zero programming experience to professional PHP development in just 3 months. I have strong experience with MySQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Docker, Git, CI/CD, OAuth2 authentication, and Agile methodologies. I enjoy solving challenging backend problems, improving system performance, and building reliable solutions that scale like a raid boss on nightmare mode. 😄 I’m currently looking for opportunities where I can contribute as a backend-focused engineer while continuing to grow with modern technologies and international teams.
