Senior software engineer with 15+ years of experience building and maintaining production systems, primarily in PHP and Laravel. In recent years, I’ve been deliberately expanding into Python—building with Django / Django REST Framework and strengthening my data skills with Pandas through hands-on projects and structured training. I’m especially interested in work at the intersection of software engineering and data: turning messy, real-world data into reliable pipelines, analyses, and decisions. My core strengths are backend fundamentals and system design: APIs, authentication/authorization, database modeling, performance, and maintainable architecture. I bring that same discipline to analytics work—clear assumptions, reproducible workflows, and code that other people can trust. Current focus areas include: • PHP & Laravel backend systems • Python & Django REST APIs • Data manipulation and analysis with Pandas (Python) • PostgreSQL-backed applications • Modern JavaScript (React, TypeScript) where appropriate Open to senior backend or full-stack roles, and also data analytics roles where strong engineering habits, SQL fluency, and Python-based analysis are valued—and where continued growth is expected.
