I'm a software engineer with 12 years of experience specializing in PHP and backend frameworks. I build scalable backend services using MVC patterns, MySQL/PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Docker, REST APIs, and unit testing with PHPUnit. I have extensive experience in fintech, product-based, and service-based industries—particularly hospitality—and I’ve collaborated with teams across the UK, USA, Poland, and Singapore to deliver robust backend systems. Based in India and currently working remotely on a contract with a UK-based client, I thrive in Agile environments, using JIRA and Git for efficient collaboration. I enjoy translating complex business requirements into clean technical designs and scalable architectures, mentoring teammates, and driving best practices in code quality and deployment.
