Available to hire
I am Imran Malik, a seasoned Web Application Developer with over 15 years of experience building scalable, secure, and high-performance web applications. I specialize in PHP, Laravel, Livewire, and modern frontend frameworks like Vue.js and React, and I excel at designing robust RESTful APIs, real-time features, and scalable architectures (monolithic and microservices) on AWS.\n\nI pride myself on writing clean, maintainable code and delivering user-centered solutions on time. I have led teams as CTO and Lead Architect across multiple projects, mentored junior developers, and embraced AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery while maintaining quality. My experience spans integrating third-party APIs and payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal), implementing RBAC and Laravel policies, and optimizing performance with Redis, Eloquent, and advanced database design.
