Hi, I’m S. Sameer Naqvi, a senior PHP / Full Stack Developer with 20+ years of experience delivering scalable web applications and backend systems across financial, enterprise, and SaaS platforms. I specialize in PHP (CodeIgniter MVC), TypeScript, Node.js, RESTful APIs, AWS, and Docker, and I’m comfortable working independently in remote environments as well as collaborating with editors, analysts, and a variety of stakeholders to support content and data workflows. I’ve built API-driven writeback systems, data bridges, and ETL pipelines, including large-scale financial data integrations. At Ion, I connected legacy platforms to a central hub, built reliable API services, and improved deployment and production reliability with Docker-based pipelines and CI processes. I enjoy solving complex problems, enabling scalable backend architectures, and leveraging AI-assisted development tools to boost productivity, while maintaining a friendly, collaborative approach across teams.
