I have 14+ years experience as a full-stack SaaS developer. I specialise in PHP/Laravel, PostgreSQL and React. The last company I worked at did 10X customer growth over my time there. I know first-hand what it takes to build a product that can stay fast and stable as a company scales to multiple seven figures in ARR.
